Can't save EXE attachment's

[Jeff C]

My buddy sent me an EXE and it wonr't let me save it. It says "Outlook
blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments: winzip70.exe"
How am I able to save the EXE file. Thanks

Jeff

It's pretty convoluted looking but it's really not that bad.

The best solution for this particular case would be for you to visit http://www.winzip.com and download your own copy of Winzip rather than rely on a file that may be a virus in disguise.
