A few days ago I downloaded the reccomended security
patch for Windows XP.
Now every email I receive or send with an attachment is
deleted. The computer is telling me everything has a
virus.
It even deleted articles that had been in my email for
several weeks. What is wrong?
Thanks, Gary
 
Where did YOU download it FROM? Or was it sent to you in
an email by chance, unsolicited, looking like Microsoft?

That one that goes around email IS a virus! From what I
understand... It probably clobbered your system.

Outlook Express:
Open Outlook Express.
Click Tools, click Options, click Security tab.
Uncheck "Do not allow attachments..."
This change that Microsoft implemented is to help prevent viruses and
other bad code being received with attachments.
It is very important to keep your antivirus updated and run it at
least weekly.
