Default Unable to open attachments

Hi
My attachment files have been greyed out and I get a message saying ' OE
removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail( quoting the
file)'
I know they are safe and cannot find where to rectify the problem.
Help would be appreciated, Mike

1. Start Outlook Express.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
3. Click the Security tab, click to clear the "Do not allow attachments to
be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" check box under Virus
Protection, and then click OK.
