Open Outlook Express. Go to Tools (at the very top, 2nd line 4th word over just under the page title bar) left click and open, then click on Options. In Options click on the Security tab and under virus protection unclick "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus."
Microsoft, in a big brotherly fashion of sorts, is trying to protect us. The problem is that Outlook Express seems to indentify ALL attachments as potential virii. Ahhh, what would would we do without Bill looking out for us? LOL. This question, the one about opening attachments, pops up quite a bit.
If you follow this procedure and become infected don't whine around here. Have you updated your virus definitions in your antivirus program today? No? Then do it!! Now!!!
My cable modem is possessed. It knows that I want it to leave and is fighting the exorcism. Not only has the telco upload slowed, now it disconnects at most inopportune times. I know the mighty Vista Express crew will use great diligence and relieve me of this problem when two-way becomes available (is that some techno sucking up or what?!) It'll be like Christmas in Spring at the beach house!
Have to arise early. Working on a media machine that's to be integrated into a THX home theater. It will be delivered tomorrow. Later gator, other reptiles n mammals!
