Hi Brenda,

The Outlook Express (OE) security settings was changed as a result of a 
security update, or as part of Service Pack 2, I don't recall which. To 
change the setting, in OE go to Tools \ Options \ Security tab. Under Virus 
Protection you will find the option "Do not allow attachments to be saved or 
opened that could potentially be a virus". Uncheck the box for that option 
and click "OK". With this option enabled, OE does not remove the attachment, 
it simply prevents you from opening or saving it.

Subject: [PCSOFT] OE removed...


I use Firefox for my browser on my PC and Outlook Express for mail. I run 
Windows Defender,  McAfee Security Center, Spyware Doctor, AdAware, Spybot.

I continue to get this message:  "OE has removed access to the following 
unsafe attachments in your mail:  1.mpg 2.mpg"

How does OE do this on its own and can I stop it?  How can I get access to 
attachments that OE removed?

Just a quick comment--I am learning so much from this list-serv.  You all 
are great.
