I am not sure this is the right forum but I thought I'd start here.
I am running Outlook 2002 under XP Professional. I have applied all the patches so both my operating system as well as Outlook are up to date.
I am also running Norton Antivirus version 8.07.17C and Norton Internet Security 2002.
I used to be able to go to a web page, click on 'File/Send/Link by E-mail' to send a link via email. Now, when I do this operation, Outlook does create an outgoing email message BUT there is an information message at the top saying "This message has not been sent. Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments: <xxxx.url>". xxxx is the string of characters that can either follow after the actual url name (e.g. for xxxx becomes 'init') or a truncated version of the url if there are no character strings after the url (e.g. for xxxx becomes '
As a test, I sent the emails to myself. I did receive the email but with another information message saying "Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments: xxxx.url".
Any idea what could be causing this annoying problem? Obviously I can get around it by copying and pasting the url and then sending it in an email but it is an extra step that I didn't used to have to do.
Thanks!
