How can I download an attachment that yahoo won't scan?
-
I am trying to download an .mp3 file that I emailed to myself about 6 months ago. I could get it then, but now I get the message, "Virus scanning is temporarily unavailable. This file has not been scanned. This attachment may contain viruses that could damage your computer and be spread to others." It will not let me download the file without the scan. This is happening to many attachments and I have tried on multiple occasions. I am using yahoo mail classic.

Answer:
I had the same problem, which had to do with my own anti-virus program. It interfered with the Yahoo Mail virus scanner. Go into Virus Controls; then Protection Against Viruses; click on Settings and uncheck the box that says ----> "Threats in Web mail attachments". Remember, Yahoo uses Norton to download attachments so you can't have two virus protections "running" at the same time. or.-----> Just e-mail the attachment to a different e-mail account of yours. Hope I helped.
