Malware disguised as picture file
I recently came across a malware file that had the extension .jpg and that Windows parsed as a harmless looking picture file. All black-listing applications pretty much detected it as malware (that is, they weren't fooled by file extensions). This malware file could easily have any other file extension, and the black-lister would still label it as malware. This is because (most) black-listers don't look at file extensions (alone).
