OE "removed" attachments

[Pat]

Ever since downloading/installing v6.0 of Outlook Express,
it regularly but randomly decides what incoming email
attachments are unsafe and removes them! How do I disable
this feature?

If you are sure that the attachment is safe to download or open, use the following method:

Turn off the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus option:

Start Outlook Express.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Security tab, click to clear the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus check box under Virus Protection, and then click OK.
