Outlook won't allow certain attachments

[Guest]

When attaching certain files to an message, Outlook says that it may be
unsafe and other Outlook receipents won't be able to open it. Some of these
are just common IE websites and my anti-virus checks every outgoing and
incoming message. Outlook says that there is no way to turn this off, so by
now they must have hundreds of complaints. This may make it easier for System
Administrators of a business, but not so good for home use. Does MS have any
plans to change this and/or has anyone found a way around this. I saw
something about changing the file name, but so far this hasn't worked for me.
I've resorted to both attaching and pasting the link so as to double my
chances of success. If I receive something of this nature, then I'm forced to
go elsewhere to retreive it.

What version of Outlook? I have no problem sending URLs (is that what you
mean by "attaching" a common website?) in Outlook 2003.....

I think it's more prevelent when attaching a site that takes you directly to
something that automaticlly opens such as a funny commercial, etc.
Anyway, I was just trying to explain myself here, and what I'm really
saying, Outlook explains in greater detail with it's own help section.
