how do i access .exe file not allowed due to windows security mea

[dana_no1]

I need to access access a 16-bit subsystem fix - xp .exe so that I can run
certain dos programs. However, when i try to access it i have a pop-up (error
message)from windows security that the file is blocked beacuse it could be
malignant. How do I a) access the file, or b) turn off the security or c)
find a different solution to my problem. My computor has XP with SP2 and
everything seems to be up-to-date. I even tried accessing the file with my
virus checker off but it is clearly a windows security problem. Please
someone help me... I need to use this file to access a program for uni!!!
Thanks!!

Sorry, you'll need to ask this in a more appropriate newsgroup (perhaps
microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin)

This one's for questions about security in Access, the database product
that's part of Office Professional.

Thanks, this is my first time using this - so I wasnt quite sure under which
category this would come under.
