Hi Patti, Try this, it works for me. If someone is going to send me an attachment, they need to contact me ahead of time, and let me know what type of file it is, and what it contains. If I'm not expecting attachments from anyone, and I get one, it gets deleted without giving it another thought. This is a good way to protect yourself. It's your computer, you define the rules for what you will, and will not acceptin e-mail.
