Outlook Express

I am running Windows XP Pro and using Outlook Express for my email. Whenever someone sends me an email with an attachment I am not able to open it. In the column where the attachment is it states "OE has removed access to unsafe files." Where do I need to go to change the security on this so attachments are able to be received? :confused:

Thanks

Yea,
I went into the options menu and went to security. There is a checkmark stating do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus. I did un check this box so I think it should work now.
I have PC-Cillin 2003 on my computer right now. Surely it would detect and delete any possible viruses that would come in on an attached file. I will double check the settings.
Has anyone you unchecked that box for had any problems since it was done?
Thanks for the reply. :D
Thanks,
I did what I said in the last post and it worked. I also checked to see if PC-cillin was scanning incoming email and it is so I should be alright.
Thanks,
