Tyhm has a spectacular aura about
zip = bad idea
force download of a file which could already be forced through an awkward setimg command = good idea
People will be no more capable of distributing an executable virus via forcedownload than they already are via setimg. Further, it is worth noting that a virus' code must actually be executed for it to do anything - it is harmless while dormant, that's what makes them virii.
