I recently downloaded all MS updates for my WINDOWS Me.
Since downloading the updates I cannot open attachments to
emails. I get the following warning: A paperclip symbol
then "OE removed access to the following unsafe attachment
in your mail:" then the subj title of the email. I know
all of the attachments are not infected. What can I do to
correct this and open my email attachments? I have NORTON
virus protection.

Tks, Ken

It's an OE Setup Option. Look and you'll find it.

Unless, of course, the attachments are Access MDB files. <g>

Go to the menu item "Tools, Options...", and, in the resulting dialog, the
"Security Tab",
uncheck the checkbox beside "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that
could potentially be a virus."

WARNING: Changing this setting increases the potential for virus activation, so
do so AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
