Hi, hope someone can help.
If someone sends me an attachement, OE proudly displays in
the line at the top of the header, "OE removed access to
the following unsafe attachement"
How the hell do I turn off this block.
Thanks in advance
 
In OE, click the menu "Tools", then "Options" at the bottom.

On the window that appears, click the "Security" tab and untick "Do not
allow attachments to be
saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" under the Virus
Protection section at the top.

Simple as that. You may need to close OE & IE (all instances) just in case
it doesn't work straight
away but that's all there is to it.

Just make sure that you have virus protection - essential these days.

If you don't, you could try http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php
The program and updates are free but only for home use. I would recomend
Norton though.
Its worth the £££.

Regards
 
I experienced the same problem and contacted my
provider. OE is apparently a security filter set by my
provider. They removed the filter and the problem cleared.
Hope this helps.
