MSN Messenger, File Transfer Security block

I need to get some .mp3 audio files from someone but Windows Security Center
keeps blocking them, even though I have my firewall turned off. I know the
files are not malicious so how can I unblock them, or turn off the security
center temporally.

MSN blocks the potentially unsafe files. This may cause some inconvenience
to the genuine user but considering the overall risk I cant blame MS.
One better way is to rename the file extension before sending. Eg: change it
to .txt instead of .mp3. Once the file is sent then the other person can
change it to mp3

Another method to transfer blocked files is to use the File Sharing
application from the Activities pulldown menu in your conversation window

hope this helps
