Thank your antivirus.
Microsoft NEVER sends attachments or patches unsolicited.
They are most likely a virus:

Hi - this is because of an update in OE.
Make sure your antivirus software scans mail, and that you keep it updated.
Then go to tools | options | security and untick the obvious box in there.
If you go to help | readme in OE it will tell you more.

Greetings --

The attachments haven't actually been removed.

Outlook Express' default security settings are simply trying to
protect you. OE has no way of telling whether an attachment actually
contains a virus or not, so it temporarily blocks any of those file
types that could potentially contain a virus. In Outlook Express,
Tools Options Security, uncheck the "Do not allow attachments to
be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" option, assuming
you trust the source, of course. The wiser course of action, however,
would be to modify your list of unsafe files, as outlined in the KB
articles below:
