unusual security warning when running from a networked drive

[Guest ProteanThread]

Recently I get the above program whenever I run anything (in this case a

*.CHM file) from a networked drive, I tried checking my security settings,

is there something I could have missed?

Have you gone from sp1 to 2 or 3? heh. It's part of, don't laugh too

hard. windows ahem, security.. and executable/user safety.

 

Run gpedit.msc, and go to Local Computer Policy->User

 

Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows

 

Components->Attachment Manager and enable "Default risk level for file

 

attachments", and then enable "Inclusion list for low risk file types"

 

and add to this list the file extensions that you want to open without it

bothering you....

Do a thorough check for malware, following all of the steps at one of these

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?

For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,

whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince

you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see

what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure

of.
