  • Enter application/octet-stream into the MIME type filter under the Web Security/HTTP/S/Anti-Virus section.  Or you can block every type of applications by adding in application/* although this will also block PDFs, Word docs, etc.  It's best to block only the executable downloads and zips


    I also block all audio and video to prevent MP3s and movies (also kills streaming radio and TV) from being downloaded.  Add audio/* and video/* to the blocked MIME type filter.

    Here is a link to reference MIME types if you want to block a specific file type
