I know that in Outlook Express in Tools-Options-Security there is a
checkbox:

"Do no allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially
contain a virus."

Those files include *.exe and *.pif. I am not sure about macros, but they
are certainly are potential suspects. I am not sure where this option is in
Outlook, but I'm pretty sure that's the problem.

I've received a workbook by email that contains macros.
Upon opening it, I get the message "This workbook has lost
its VBA Project, Active X control and any other
programability-related features." Is there something I
need to change in Excel or Outlook in order to prevent
this?
