The problem is NOT related to the "you can't send file X"...
This is a new component for windows, something that protects your pc against vulnerable files (i doubt why Microsoft thinks that MP3's are vulnerable.. but hey...)

You can uninstall this "update", it's probably under the Software (in the Control Panel)..

To avoid these warnings, just go to the My Received Files folder, and open it from here.. Mostly works fine

I have the same problem... opening the file manually is at best a very annoying workaround. I have disabled the SP2 security center service too, that didn't help any either. Any thoughts?

You might be interested in the information posted at Blocked file extentions, even with mess patch

I read that thread, but I don't see a solution in there...

Hmm, it seems APatch doesn't properly remove the file blocking on the latest MSN. Stuffplug fixed it... weird, but solved

I relise this thread is ancient, but I was wondering if there is a patch that will remove this for Messenger 8 beta (Its not in the A-Patch)?

Either a patch or a registry edit

try to compress the file as a .zip or a .rar and then send or recive the file while it is still compressed.

File Extention Blocking is a part of messenger sence v7.0 it blocks exe's and other (so-called) Harmfull file extentions from transfering. Stuffplug NG can disable File Extention blocking. go to www.stuffplug.com to get it. and as WLM8 is only beta a patch is Very Unlikely.
