Problem Receiving Attachments In Outlook Express

Question: For the last few months I have been unable to receive any attachments. A notice appears at the top of the window telling me they are unsafe. I even changed from McAfee to Norton but still get the same message. Obviously all of them can't be unsafe; what can be done about this?

Carey's Answer:

An update to Microsoft's Outlook Express causes this. To correct it, start Outlook Express, click on Tools, then Options and then click the Security tab. Uncheck the line that says, "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus." Finally, click OK.
