| | Files transferred through MSN Messenger blocked and Deleted by Win Using the newest version of Windows Live Messenger, every time someone transfers a file to me, and I click on the link to the finished product inside the messenger window, I get a message stating that windows has blocked the file, because it is potentially harmful. After that, the file is completely deleted. This seems to be happening only with Windows Live messenger, and occurs with everything, but image files. I've had to resort to having the files uploaded to a web server to download them from there. is there a way to disable this feature, so that i can receive these files without having to go through all this? |
