Hey peeps,

This is a really bizarre problem and its kinda anoying as hell!

When people try sending me things over MSN Messenger 7.0 (full version) i get this message:
***** tried to send you a file (dvdSanta 3.45.exe). This file has been blocked because it is potentially unsafe.

I also got the same messgae when other people have sent me OTHER file types! Including an MP3, and Jpeg. I think there is perhaps a setting that needs "unchecking". I just cant seem to find it.

Any help welcome,

Daniel.

PS-I can send others files, they cant seem to send them to me. Crazy!

Just so you guys know out there, i found how to fix this along with a bundle of other cool option like turning off the adverts with a patch on www.mess.be The patch is something daft like 7.0.0.7.7.

Hope this helps others
