Security update blocks all attachments

[Kate]

How can I disable the new security updates? Outlook
Express now blocks every single attachment I receive.

1. Start Outlook Express.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
3. 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.

In Outlook express go to Tool>Options>Security. Uncheck

the box that says do not allow attachments to be saved or
opened that could potentially contain a virus. Retry and
the attachments will be able to open.

Go to Tools, Options, Security. You'll find the attachments option there.
