Hello,
Today I can not download any attachement with any extension. I normally get these e-mail with the same attachmnt daily and I did not have any problem untill now. Even it is not giving me option to save or open.

Thank you

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0

I am having the same problem. I get a message stating that my internet explorer is blocking it. I do not have a virus program of any kind, but it is still blocked. How do I fix the problem?

Please help me. I am trying to open an attachment to my yahoo email. The file download box with the sheet of paper going in to the folder is taking forever.

Try right clicking on the attachment and select encoding then auto select that fixed it for me

First, you really should get a good Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware program against the kind of dangers that now float around in the Internet. My friend uses AVG and has had no problem, it seems to have a pretty good review, and it's free. Anyway, here are a few ideas of the top of my head.

A possible temporary work-around: there should have appeared an extra bar just above the web page that also states a similar message when you tried to get your attachment. If you right-click it, you should have the option to show or download the file for just that one time.

Things you could check is how high is your Windows Security for the Internet (Control Panel>Internet Options>Security) is set. If it's high (default medium) than lowering may help. If you don't want to lower it, then try adding the address to your web email account to the Windows Trusted Sites (Click the Trusted Sites icon in the Security page, then click the "Sites" button). If your email account is Yahoo, then add 216.252.121.32 instead (you will need to uncheck the "require server verification" in the add page though).

I am experiencing the same problem with my Yahoo email account. I recently forwarded a message with an attachment to my Hotmail account and had no problems opening the attachment. Something tells me this is a Yahoo issue...I have had this problem before, if I remember correctly.

I had the same problem, which had to do with my anti-virus (Trend Micro). I had to go into Virus Controls; then Protection Against Viruses; click on Settings and uncheck the box that said "Threats in Web mail attachments". Remember, Yahoo uses Norton to download attachments so you can't have two virus protections "running" at the same time.

Hi.
I have AVG now, and used to have Norton. Any advice as to how to be able to read .ppt and .pps attachments that come in via Yahoo?
If I forward them to my Hotmail account I can see them fine, so it isn't the computer or that I don't have an application.
Someone said go to "Virus Controls" and uncheck "Threats in Mail Attachments". Where is Virus controls? I can't seem to find such a thing.

Many thanks.

This is definitely a Trend Micro problem. My ex wife bought a computer from Best Buy, and they put Trend on it. She's been unable to download Yahoo attachments since the middle of October.
Do as the Hansonbrothershockeychick said and all will be well. -J

No! Not a Trend problem only!!! I have McAfee and have the exact same problem. The solution that works for Trend does not work for McAfee. I have AOL as SP. Telephoned their Customer Services - they said that their engineers are aware of the problem and working on it

I couldn't download attachments - same problem as the others. I have Trend too and didn't have a problem until October I was trying "restore to a previous date" to no avail and checking yahoo led me in circles too It was so exasperating. Forwarding my e-mails to another account was the only way to download the attachments so I realised that it couldn't be my computer. One would hope that Yahoo/Trend find a way to resolve the problem. Perhaps they should consider consulting you as you seem to have been the only one who could offer a solution.
Thanks so much. Best Wishes, Spence

I've got McAfee running on Vista and can't open any attachments. I started in SAFE MODE w/ networking and was able to do it just fine. Once out of SAFE MODE the problem comes back. I click on the attachment to download and nothing happens. Yahoo uses a Norton virus scanner and I'm not sure of any way to turn that off. Anyone have a fix for that yet?

# Open McAfee Security Center.
# Click on Virus Scan.
# Click on "Configure virus scan options".
# Select Active Shield tab.
# Un-check "Scan email and attachments".
# Click Apply and close window.

Dear HansonBrother,
You appear to be the expert. I echo the problem with downloading my e-mail from yahoo. I have the Norton Interne Security and it scans the e-mail and says its free of viruses, etc. When I try to download or save, it will download to 99% but never download the attachment. Any suggestions? Thanks and happy new year!
