.exe attachment, system deletes

[Sue]

Can anyone help me please?
I am trying to send an .exe file attachment through
microsoft outlook, but each time outlook deletes
attachment saying it maycontain a virus,so it will delete
the said file.....

I realise I should be reducing some security level? but
where and how do I find it????

many thanks in advance of help !!

Hi Sue

Go to Tools\Options\Security tab, then UNTICK the box
about Allowing Attachments that could be a Virus.

Either rename or zip the attachment. Rename the extension to .ex_ and give
the recipient instructions for restoring the extension is one method. I
much prefer to use .zip files.

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.
