Why is it possible to post a ZIP file here?

Notably when it is an ENCRUPTED one using a password stored in the plain-text,
used in this case to transport a VIRAL WORM... (Some newer virus use similar
tricks with encrypted ZIPs but now use an embedded small image looking like
plain text to display the password in a HTML inline body.)

I just wonder why people open these ZIP files and even attempt to decrypt them
to get the embedded file...
But some surveys have revealed that lots of users like porn attachments and
think that this archive format and its password is there to avoid censure by
content...
