How blocking some attachments helps protect your computer

How the hell can i turn that thing off? i don't want windows to block an mp3
file when somebody sends me one through msn. And deblocking don't help
either, cuz help and support says that i should just look for the file on my
computer and deblock it, but it ain't even on my computer. It didn't save the
file. I can judge myself whether or not a file can be trusted, i don't need
windows doing that for me and what bugs me the most is that i can't seem to
find a way to turn it off.....somebody?

Are you referring to Outlook Express? If so, have you asked in the OE
newsgroup?

Try tools/options/security and uncheck
do not allow attachments
