I'm not SURE this actually helps, but I have downloaded exe and dll files straight to a CD and out them away until I was certain they were OK.
Of course the file has to pass through your processing system, so if it wants to offload some trojan or malware it will do so on the way through to the CD.

When the flush of a new-born sun fell first on Eden's green and gold,
Our father Adam sat under the Tree and scratched with a stick in the mould;
And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart,
Till the Devil whispered behind the leaves, "It's pretty, but is it Art?" - Rudyard Kipling
