WHAT TO TRY
Change the Attachment Security Zone Settings
To change your attachment security zone setting, follow these steps:
- On the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Security tab.
- Click Attachment Security.
- High security (recommended for all users) will warn you of potential security issues with attachments.
- None (not recommended) offers no protection from potential security problems. Use this setting only if you are sure all messages you receive are safe.
Deactivate the iRiS AntiVirus Software
Deactivate the iRiS Software Limited, AntiVirus program. In a reported
incident, the problem message would still not open but other messages of
this type, received after the anti-virus software was turned off, had no
problem.
