Greetings,

There has been an upsurge in some Messenger (that is .NET Messenger) spam these past few
months. You may not be aware that anyone can actually send you a message through the .NET
Messenger network without being on your contact list. For example, if you right-click your
Messenger icon, choose "Send an Instant Message", the Other tab, you can actually type in a
Passport e-mail address and send a message to them, without being on their contact list.

However, you can change this behavior, so that people will have to add your to their contact
lists before they can send you a message, open up the main Messenger window, click Tools,
then Options, then the Privacy tab, click 'All other users' (or 'All users' in MSN Messenger
5) and then click the Block >> button.

If you are sure the attachement is safe...

Goto Tools, Options
Then goto the Security tab
Uncheck "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could
potentially be a virus"

Cannot Open E-Mail Attachments in OE After You Install SP1
