Also, change back the Registry directly after you’ve saved the attachment. I strongly recommend to only edit the Registry when you actually receive a blocked attachment and when there is no other way to obtain that file again in a safer way (in a compressed format or via cloud storage) and you know for sure that the file is clean. To unblock attachments involves changing the Registry. This enables you to scan the file before unpacking and it will also take less inbox space and upload/download time! Another way to go would be to upload it to a cloud storage service like OneDrive or Dropbox and share it from there.

A good practice is to send these files in a compressed format (for instance zip or rar). Outlook informs you about any blocked attachments in the message header Unblocking procedureīefore I tell you how you can still access those attachments, you must realize that you are creating a security risk on your computer this way. For instance you receive a certificate, script or other program by e-mail. This is actually a good thing even unknown viruses will be blocked this way! The downside of this is that occasionally you could receive a file that you know is clean but still can’t access. Outlook takes no chances and blocks these files whether or not it contains a virus because Outlook is not a virus scanner and therefore cannot determine whether the file is safe or not. In our example a docx file will open with Microsoft Word.Īt the moment there is a limited (but not a definite) list of file extensions that are known to be potential viruses. The last part decides how the file opens. Document is the name part and docx is the extension part.
The extension is the part of the filename after the dot. The most known are executables (programs) and scripts (automated processes).Ī filename consists out of 2 parts a name and an extension. Yes, you are correct VIRUSES! There are a lot of file types in which a virus can reside.
Believe it or not but some people are actually creating and sending messages with attachments that will do your computer no good.
