Overactive security

[David Murphy]

Outlook Express has begun "removing access" to every
attachment I receive. This didn't happen until after I
downloaded an upgrade (? to OE 6?). What's going on and,
more important, what can I do about it?

Yes you can remove it. This was done because of the large percentage of worms that
infect and spread through email attachments that may appear to come from a trusted
source by using the victims address book. Be sure to have a virus scan product such
as Norton installed that will scan all of your emails and keep itself up to date. See
the link below for more information. --- Steve
