I have a friend who is unfortunately still using MS OS and is using Verizon webmail and also unfortunately is using IE8 and has Norton security suite installed on his desktop computer, thus he is having the problem that he can not open nor save attachments to emails that he is receiving on his Verizon webmail account. This does not seem to be related to the file type of the attachments. Am trying to bring him over to the Linux world so he does not have these problems but have not gotten him there yet.
So, in the mean time, can anyone give me a short/brief fix so that he can open and save the email attachment in his Verizon webmail account.
I am thinking that this is probably being caused by the Norton suite and that there is probably a simple configuration change that he can make to cure this problem, however, I have not used MS OS computer for about 10 years now (and I assure you that you could not pay me good money to use it) and I have no idea as to where/what the fix might be without spend an inordinate amount of time searching his computer to see what the fix might be.
I have googled for an answer but have yet to come up with anything that appears to be a "good" answer. That research reveals that he is definitely not the only MS user with this problem.
Does anyone know the direct cause and solution to this problem ?
Also, I do notice that he has Google Chrome installed and am wondering if that also might be part of the problem.
Thanks.
