Windows Mail Newsgroups attachments

Recently while reading headers in a couple of newsgroups I have been unable
to see any attachments that were sent by the poster. A couple of times they
were Scripts being attached. I have checked my options in Tools but they
look alright to me. Can you help?

Perhaps your antivirus program is blocking the attachments.
Which antivirus are you using?

Hi Gary,

I use Avast. I will check the settings there and then let you know. By the
way, thanks for the response.

Gary,

Me again. I checked my anti-virus and there is nothing checked off there
that would prevent me from seeing attachments. I then thought of something,
I also use Forte Agent for some groups and always am able to see and download
attachments from there, so this has to be a Vista thing. I always have
Windows Defender in the Off position so it cannot be that. Hopefully someone
here can come up with something. Thanks agasin.

If you used the standard install for avast!, it may help to uninstall it,
then
do a custom install where you tell it to leave out the part that scans
email.
I didn't find anything relevant in the settings either - or even many
settings.

Did you check Tools | Options | Security?

Frank & Gary,

I will do the unistall/reinstall, everything I attempted yesterday could not
fix it. I did the Security thing Frank, but it didn't change anything, but
appreciate the advice.

Later,
