Some files can harm your computer message for ASP.NET page.

[Alex Shefer]

I have ASP.NET web application running on Microsoft Server 2003.
It works fine for many clients but one of my clients gets a "File
Download" dialog "Some files can harm your computer" trying to see
aspx page.
Can it some browser problem, wrong browser security settings ?

Thank you,
Alex Shefer

i think the browser does a scan on the content type. with XP SP2 if the
content type detected can contain a potential virus... ie a macro in office
document or an application.. then it prompts the user. i am afraid there is
nothing you can do about this. unless ofcourse you pass things as txt file.
