You should not get programmes in attachments. You should only be seeing
files that may be opened if you have the relevant programme to open the
file.

Software that can play WMV files include Windows Media Player, The
KMPlayer, PowerDVD, RealPlayer, MPlayer, VLC Media Player, Zoom Player
and Media Player Classic.

You need Powerpoint for a Powerpoint file.

Gerry, I noticed the pup within the AVG interface, but I did not
think that would pertain to small programs like WMV and power point
that came in with my MSN e-mail messages. I was thinking that was for
the programs that was stored in other areas of the computer away from
the e-mail program, but I could be wrong about that. I will
definately check this out. It seems that some of the power point
programs will open and others won't and that is what puzzles me.
Thanks.

If you have a recurring problem do not forget you can configure your
AVG
8. Advanced Setting. PUP Exceptions.

Thanks marx. I will give it consideration. I have the commercial
version of AVG Antivirus which cost me $42.00. Hopefully they will
find, and remove some of the bugs out of it. At least for the last
two times now, I have been able to click on this link in my MSN
e-mail and come back to this answer. For some unknown reason I could
not do that before. If I can figure out a way to open the WMV files
I receive I will be ok. Since I also upgraded to windows live
messenger from MSN Messenger I am beginning to wonderif that may be
my problem. The only thing that is strange is I do not have any
problems opening WMV or power point files that I had saved on my
computer before installing AVG. and windows live messenger so I
don't really know which one to blame. Although I do know that AVG
did screw up my MSN Messenger and that is the only reason I changed
to windows live messenger.

My main motivation is the nag screens in ver 7.5 that said support
for 7.5 will end this month. Tried ver.8, absolute rubbish, so I
went shopping for a better free AV.
