Hi Malvin,
Below is what I have for my squid, I hope that must help you
Kindly note that this acl must be placed in squid.conf bfore the exe
blocking acl

acl freesites url_regex "/usr/local/etc/squid/freesites"
http_access allow freesites

specify all your allowed sites from where you want users to download
exes in the freesites files
Also kindly change the location appropriately for the freesites , if
linux change that to /etc/squid/freesites
