Grow up Gmail (Google).... it is 2011 !!

There are a few things I do not understand. Actually, there are an awful lot of things I do not understand, but here is one thing which I ponder about: why Gmail, one of the largest email providers around the earth, still don't support any kind of .exe file for attachment.

When you try to attach some .exe file with gmail, it will show the message:

Error
abc.exe is an executable file. For security reasons, Gmail does not allow you to send this type of file.

In many years ago, this might sound OK due to security problem like virus, malware or something like that.... But today, at 2011, preventing file from attaching in email just because it is a .exe file or executable file - sounds really stupid. Other mail services like Yahoo allow to attach executable files and they use anti-virus (norton) for security checking.
Come on Google....wake up... its 2011 and you should have a system that detect harmful executable file rather stopping attachment of each & every executable file.

Don't stop walking for fear of falling...like, don't stop attachment fear of security threaten!!
