Our users don't like it but everything here not on a whitelist gets opened in a sandbox first and analyzed and if deemed non-threatening it is allowed to run. We have a lot of false positives and have to manually whitelist them, but that doesn't bother me. It still isn't 100%, but it sure helps with due diligence should something happen.
