You may have noticed
that when you receive an attachment with an email you are unable to open the
attachment or save the attachment to your hard drive. The reason for this is
that Outlook Express has the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened
that could potentially be a virus option enabled. Obviously, this is a safeguard
against malicious attachments. However, if you receive attachments from friends
you need to be able to open them. Here is how you disable the attachment virus
protection option.
1/ In Outlook Express click
Tools on the main toolbar
2/ From the drop down menu select
Options
3/ In the options window select the
Security tab
4/ At the top you will see a section
marked 'Virus protection'
5/ The very last option is 'Do not
allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus'
6/ Remove the check mark from
this option to disable it
7/ Click the Apply button
8/ Finally click OK to exit
