Re: virus security

It also blocks Microsoft Access Databases (MDB), which is odd. Guess I will just turn it off because I have Norton Antivirus.

Based upon file type and their associated extensions. EXE, BAT, PIF, SCR are just some
examples as these files can be executed and can be used in a malicious way.

Make sure you have a up-to-date anti virus application running "On Access" scanning and then
in OE...
Tools --> options --> security
Uncheck; Do not allow attachments to be saved...

It is basically an on/off switch. Either you enable the filtering or don't. It isn't user
editable to specify specific filtering settings.
