Security update - attachments

[Leslie Randolph]

mental health crisis uses email to turn in client paperwork - for safety
we use a standalone encryption program that creates a .exe file.
Supervisor downloaded latest updates and security program now will
no longer allow .exe attachments. We cannot meet funding source daily
deadline.

1. will restoring to previous function get rid of this truly?

2. Is there really no way to turn this off?

We pay for the machines and the software and yet the choices are not
ours. While I understand the need for security in the computer if
microsoft takes away all options some of us will be forced to use other
products to get things done

The quickest way around this is to use WinZip and zip
the .exe file before you attach it. This will also speed
sending and downloading times.
