Starting with SP1, Outlook Express does this by default, for any file type which *can* contain a virus. It's not a virus checker, doesn't actually check the attachments, and this doesn't mean that there actually is a virus there. Such attachments *are* very risky. You often see advice not to open attachments from people you don't know. I think that that's one of the most dangerous pieces of advice you see around, because it implies that it's safe to do the opposite--open attachments from friends and relatives. But many viruses spread by sending themselves to everyone in the infected party's address book, so attachments received from friends are perhaps the *most* risky to open. Personally I never open executable attachments at all, except from a *very* few trusted sources, and then only when I'm expecting them. But if you want to remove this safeguard, it's easy to do so: go to Tools | Options, and on the security tab, uncheck "Do not allow attachments..." -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |
