| 114653 | 2003-01-17 09:33:00 | OE seems to remove most of my attachments saying they are unsafe, can I adjust this setting? I have XP. | starfish (3019) | ||
| 114654 | 2003-01-17 09:45:00 | Starfish, In Outlook Express, click on TOOLS | OPTIONS and select the SECURITY tab, unselect (untick) the "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" and click OK Cheers, Babe. |

| 114656 | 2003-01-17 10:03:00 | Starfish, You can turn on/off the 'feature' as and when you wish. As long as the email/attachment is what you were expecting and the user who sent it is known to you... wel your call... but at least you have the control. I assume you have an Antivirus software product running all the time and perhaps a firewall. Cheers, Babe. |

| 114657 | 2003-01-17 10:11:00 | how do I check I have a firewall? | starfish (3019) | ||
| 114658 | 2003-01-17 10:16:00 | Starfish, You may have Nortons Firewall (or Internet Security) or ZoneAlarm or... maybe some other firewall product (there are many but Zonealarm seems popular). You {or someone on your behalf} would have installed and set that up. Cheers, Babe. |

| 114659 | 2003-01-17 10:19:00 | I have AVG free edition | starfish (3019) | ||
| 114660 | 2003-01-17 10:21:00 | Or, as you have XP, you may have the internal XP firewall enabled, but it only works for incoming, not outgoing traffic. Just right-click on your dial-up connection under Networking connections, and select Advanced. See if there is a tick in the Internet firewall option |

| 114661 | 2003-01-17 10:26:00 | Starfish, AVG is an AntiVirus product... quite good I believe... a lot of people who come on this forum use it. See Godfather's post... Babe. |
