Go to tools then options then look at file transfer and untick the checkbox that says scan for virus's but only if you know who is sending you what i guess?

When you receive the file and can't open it, right click on it and go to Properties, down the bottom of the Properties window you will see....

Security: This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer.

There is an 'unblock' icon next to this - just click on that to unblock it.
