I found another solution - so I will post it here. There were actually two things interfering with sending the file as an attachment. 1 My antivirus, Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) did not accept that type of file. So in KIS settings I uncheck "Scan Attached Archive". (After sending I turn it back on.) 2 The Gmail system blocks and destroys my file (a zipped file containing .exe’s) when I send it or receive it there. So I created an alias to the Gmail address. An email sent out from Outlook and the alias will bypass the Gmail account and thus its ability to disable the attached file. My configuration is this: I have the Gmail operating in Firefox. I set up the alias address as an account in Outlook and Mail and sent the attached file from there. (Both Outlook and Mail worked equally well.) My procedure is to 1) Turn off antivirus scanning of the attached archive. 2) From the alias, send the email with attached file. 3) Turn on antivirus. Other things to Expect: 1 - The inbox of the alias will always be empty -- as any email addressed to the alias will be forwarded to the Gmail inbox. 2 - The sent folder of the alias will retain a copy of the email/file. 3 - If I select the sent email/file after turning the antivirus back on KIS will quarantine it. So I lose the use of the Sent folder, but that is OK because there is a copy of the file remaining in my OneDrive.

KIS destroys a file when I send it to myself as an email attachment. It is a file that I wrote myself and it does not contain threats, as verified when I test it with KIS. With KIS protection off, I try to send the file to myself from OneDrive with MS Outlook -- sending to an address that is an alias of my Gmail address. The email never shows up in the Gmail inbox whether KIS protection is on or off. The email with attached file remains in the Sent mail folder of Outlook. It stays in the Sent folder of Outlook until I turn KIS protection back on and select it. Then KIS destroys the attachment. On the other hand, the file is not destroyedwhen I select the email in Outlook's Sent mail as long as I keep KIS off. The nature of the file is this: I have a folder containing two other folders each containing a zipped .EXE file+some other files. The top folder is also zipped - making it all one zipped file of 7 MB . I have tried changing names of the two inner *.exe files to *.txt but results are the same. KIS version 21.3.10.391 (g) Windows 10 version 10.0.19043 build 19043 Outlook Version 2016 Q: How can I prevent KIS from destroying a specific file attached to email?

Got it. Thanks.

My application version of KIS is 21.3.10.391(g) I need to turn it completely off, perform a test, and then re-enable it. Q1 Is there another version that I should be using.? Q2 Is there a way with my current version.?

Additional information: I believe that a zip file that I created myself is destroyed by KIS, along with the incoming email it is attached to. The file contains folders and 2 .exe files. I want to verify this by turning off KIS.

This Page https://support.kaspersky.com/KIS4Mac/16.0/en.lproj/pgs/58285.htm "Disable and resume computer protection" contains two methods to disable and resume KIS. Neither of the menus is available in my copy of KIS. 1 Disable/resume computer protection from the application icon In the menu bar, click the application icon. In the menu that appears, choose Turn Protection Off/Turn Protection On. 2 Disable/resume computer protection from the application preferences window In the menu bar, click the application icon. In the menu that appears, choose Preferences. The application preferences window opens. On the Protection tab, in the General section, deselect/select the Enable protection checkbox. Q1 Why are these options not available in my copy of KIS? Q2 How can I completely disable all protection and resume all protection?

KIS 21.2.16.590(a) I have a thread discussing the problem on windows ten forums here: https://www.tenforums.com/network-sharing/169447-problem-connecting-windows-10-pro-windows-98-a.html I will do more research and post back tomorrow as there is much that I don’t understand.

I'm using KIS on Windows 10, does it interfere with Windows service SMB1? I am aware that SMB1 is vulnerable to WannaCry ransomware attacks. But I also need SMB1 on Windows 10 to access files on a Windows 98 PC. I wonder if KIS blocks SMB1 to prevent the virus? If so, I am looking for a workaround for accessing files on my Windows 98 PC.
