What should I do if I suspect an attachment contains a virus or other
malware?
In most cases, Entourage detects unsafe files, and when you display a
message with such a file, you should see a message saying “Entourage
has blocked the following potentially unsafe attachments.” Click Remove
them to delete the attachment(s).
If you believe that an attached file may be unsafe, but Entourage has not
blocked the file, you should delete the message. However, before you do
that it is a good idea to delete the attached file from the message. Click
the message, click the attachment in the preview pane, and then click
Remove. When Entourage asks you to confirm, click Delete.
Entourage asks you to confirm
that you want to save the file.
