My computer has recently automatically updated Windows and I now find that Live Mail is blocking all .doc and .docx attachments as "prohibited file types". I can access them by unticking "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" in Safety Options but feel that that could leave my computer open to viruses that might be contained in other file types. Microsoft Word attachments to stored emails are also blocked when the box is ticked. I am running Windows Home Premium which came with the computer when I bought it.

Has anyone else come across this problem and is there a solution.
