ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented method includes intercepting transfer of an IM attachment, providing a comforting message that the IM attachment is being delayed, and evaluating the IM attachment for malicious code. Upon a determination that the IM attachment is non-malicious, the IM attachment is transferred to the recipient IM user. By explaining the delay in receipt of the IM attachment, the recipient IM user is prevented from becoming disconcerted about the delay.
