Q: Why can't I open or save e-mail attachments when using avast! 4 and Outlook Express 6?

A: This is a new security feature of Outlook Express 6 (not an avast! problem) where the possibility to SAVE and OPEN attachments is disabled by default.

You can enable attachments to SAVE and OPEN by doing the following:

1. Open Outlook Express
2. Choose TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> SECURITY
3. Uncheck the option "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus"
4. Click OK
