The '.' is a special character in regex matching. If you want to use a
literal '.', you must escape it with a backslash, like this:

\.exe$

Also, can you clarify "it is not working"? Post your squid.conf (without
comments or blank lines) and access.log entries for the content you are
trying to block.
