  • Blocked Attachments in Outlook Page 1 of 5
    Blocked attachments in Outlook Page 1 of 5 Outlook > Attachments Blocked attachments in Outlook To help protect your computer, Microsoft Office Outlook does not allow you to receive files of certain types (such as .exe files) as attachments, because of their potential for introducing a virus into your computer. Outlook blocks these files by default. If your organization uses Microsoft Exchange, only the e-mail server administrator can unblock these file types. End users of Outlook cannot unblock these file types. In this article Background - The Internet is a dangerous neighborhood How to share your files safely Attachment file types blocked by Outlook Background - The Internet is a dangerous neighborhood When Microsoft Outlook 97 first arrived on the market, the Internet still seemed like a relatively safe place, and sending attachments in e-mail seemed like a great idea. But then — beginning in March of 1999 when the Melissa virus struck, only to be followed by the ILOVEYOU virus — reality hit hard. These were the fastest-spreading viruses ever seen up to that time, and they forced a number of companies to shut down their e-mail systems, at significant cost. In order to spread, these attacks relied heavily on fooling people into believing that infected e-mail messages were coming from someone familiar, and even many computer experts fell victim to them and became infected. It is no secret that hackers like to attack the largest available target — and today, that is Microsoft Office Outlook. World wide, more than 300 million people use Outlook. Therefore, the industry and Microsoft customers look to Microsoft to provide protection against security threats.
