Didn't know which category to submit this problem, so I just decided to try Win ME.When doing an e-mail using Outlook Express and including an attachment, somehow/someway the name of the attached file gets changed. For example:The file named:Dock Letter.doc gets changed to: Dock Letter.4367DEFANGED-docSpecial Fund.xls gets changed to: Special Fund.97632DEFANGED-xlsI had e-mailed both of these files from work to myself at home and received both with the changed name. The original files on the work PC appear as they were originally named. Always seems to have 4 or 5 numbers followed by the word 'DEFANGED' and the file extention preceded by a dash instead of a dot.Suspecting perhaps a virus, at work using Mcaffee I scanned with negative results. At home using Norton 2002, I scanned with negative results.Any thoughts? Perhaps I should pose this problem in a different topic area. Have a look here:Also here:'procmail filter The filter scans all incoming email traffic for attachments and if the attachment displays the signature of a known worm or virus, the message is blocked by the server.

From Outlook indicating 'Windows cannot open this file 'John Doe.vcf.DEFANGED-XXX' It appears that the vcard file may have a virus(or I may. To remove MS Word documents from being “DEFANGED” then you would remove “doct ” from the MANGLEEXTENSIONS variable. Modifying this file will resolve your issue for any new users however any users that have already configured will also need to be modified.

Additionally, a reply is sent to the sender indicating why their mail was rejected and suggests that they scan their system for possible worm or viral infection.Because it is not possible to know what form a new worm or virus attachment might take, the filter also renames ('defangs') all attachments. This step prevents attached worms and viruses from being executed automatically by the system, or by a user inadvertently opening them. The filter accomplishes this by changing the name of the attached file to non-executable name. It does this by inserting a string consisting of a five digit code followed by the text 'DEFANGED-', after the period in the file anem and before the original file extension.Renaming the attachment by removing the added text restores the attachment to its original form. The attachment can then be opened in the usual way, and hopefully it will not contain any worm or virus code.

If it does, the virus definitions better be up-to-date.' OK This all seems reasonable, but where or what (software?) is adding the DEFANGED/MANGLED condition of the attachment?

Can DEFANGED be turned off?At work we're using a 4 workstation LAN with two of the workstations using only a DOS based Point of Sale software program with no access to the internet. The other 2 workstations do have access to the internet via a local ISP using dial-up connection.

The server on this LAN only has DOS installed, using DOS version of Novell's net software, and the Point of Sale software. There is no file sharing, software sharing, printer sharing or any other sharing that might be more typical of a LAN.Now me here at home I just have my little ole PC using a dial-up local ISP.

(The same one we use at work).
