Unable to unzip a folder

Since I installed SP2 I've been unable to open any zipped files I get
through email. I get the following msg: "Windows has blocked access to this
file" and something about being in high security mode and the file being on
a list of untrusted files. It also tells me to go to properties of the file
to unblock it but there is no such option in properties. How can I fix
this? I followed all MS instructions to no avail.

G'Day Silesius,

The attachments are quarantined by your e-mail CLIENT,
not by Windows.

If you use Outlook Express, go to ToolsOptions and adjust
the settings for Virus Protection on the Security Tab.

If you use Microsoft (Office) Outlook go to
http://www.slovaktech.com/attachmentoptions.htm and download
the free Outlook AddIn. The Web Page explains exactly how to
use it.
