What do you mean "approaching"?? If you did not realize that about 5 years ago (probably nearer six now) you were behind the game... Since about 4 years ago it has been close to crucial. The AV companies started to realize it (as in "publicly acknowleged it" by recommending "scan all files" or even making that the default or at least by starting to talk about implementing "smart file typing" in their products) about 3-3.5 years ago.
