How do you disable the Powerpoint virus warning message?

[Nigel_Ellis]

How do I disable the virus warning message which appears when
activating an attached avi or other file?

 

[Bill Foley]

Instead of using the "Hyperlink to...", "Other File" action setting, try
using the "Run Program" option. Check out the following for more info:

For AVIs I would definitely use Insert > Movies and Sounds > Movie from file,
rather than linking directly to the file. What other types of files are you
linking directly to?

Also, what version of PowerPoint are you running?
