Can't open word documents sent from the internet

I keep getting a dialog that says safe mode can't open a document attached to a mail message. I found that if I go into the document properties and uncheck this document came from the internet dialog it opens fine, what I can't find is how to turn off the feature that blocks all word documents from the internet?

Thanks Tim
