Windows Live Messenger 9 Wave 3 File Transfer issue by dbgarza on 11-05-2008 at 09:33 PM

Hi, any of you know how to fix this annoyance? you see, whenever I want to send a .zip or .rar file (so far with the only ones I tried) or receive them I get that annoying window about that I'm about to send or receive a file that can be potentially dangerous, there is a button to continue but is grayed out, so either I install the One Care scanner or browse for a path to my own antivirus.

in the old versions including the first betas of WLM 9 it was enough with add a registry key on the policies to enable all the file extensions but it isn't working with the new beta of WLM 9, maybe they changed where the policies for this beta go?

Any help will be really appreciated.

Edit: it seems that on this version they are using a different method and added the .zip and .rar files to the unsafe list, before you could send those files without problem
