Do the following:
Windows Live messenger contact window -> Tools -> Options -> File Transfer -> Tick "scan files for viruses" -> in the box put it some text (whatever doesnt matter) e.g "shdgsh" -> Click Apply -> Click Ok

There done ;)

That's just stupid... couldn't he just untick it and it wouldn't scan for it and deem the files to be unsafe....

I suggest upgrading to either WLM or MSN 7.5, the update can help in security issues in old versions, and also have some more useful features from Microsoft updating it's software :)... Hpe this helps.

Then put them back up.

And, if you think you can tell a legit file from a virus, disable the 'Block unsafe filetypes'.
