O.P. "This file is potentially harmful..." message - How do I get rid?
EDIT: I remembered. I downloaded the File Extension Unblocker from mess.be.

END EDIT


This is doing my head in, so please help.

Whenever someone sends me an MP3 (Or any "Harmful" file), MSN deletes it when I click on the link within the IM window. I can't figure out why it's doing this. It never used to, but I can't remember how I solved it. I'm not an idiot, I just can't remember how.

In Tools > Options > File Transfer, I've made sure the "Automatically delete harmful files" box is unchecked.

I've tried recieving the file with the "Scan files for viruses using:" box unchecked.

I've tried recieving the file with with OneCare installed.

Nothing works.

What am I doing wrong here? Why isn't it letting me accept the file?
