When trying to open an attachment in Outlook Express, I get an error message,'OE removed access to the following unsafe attachment in your email: ABC.htm. It's from the Chamber of Commerce, so I know its safe, but how do I open it, please? I do have excellent antivirus, firewall and anti-spyware, just in case.

In OE, under Tools, Options.

Click on the security tab, and uncheck the option to prevent opening or saving attachments that could potentially be a virus.

Keep in mind that the Chamber of Commerce mail server could have been hacked, or their address could be spoofed.
