windows blocked access to content
my friend sent me some stuff over Windows Live Messenger, and it was a .exe
file. every single time, to my frustration, windows blocked it without giving me a choice to access it or not. went to windows mail (as instructed by windows help) and unchecked "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" under security options. tried downloading the file again, and again Windows blocked it without giving me any options. can you please help me? I just want to access my files.

Hello,
you could see if the following setting in Live Messenger is checked: Tools - Options - File Transfer - "Automatically reject file transfers...". If yes, uncheck it and try again. Greetings, P.

windows blocked access to content
hi can anybody help?
i am still unable to access the content. it's an EXE file. i would just like to have the choice of blocking it, if i wish to block it. it's quite frustrating that windows blocked it for me without allowing me the choice to allow the program to run.

Microsoft think every user in the world is a novice with no idea on what files are dangerous or not. Nice touch...
