Problem viewing .chm files

For some time now I have been unable to read downloaded .chm files. Instead of the help contents I got an error page.

The address is not valid

Searching for this on google turned up a KB article that says this is because of a security measure introduced in security update 896358.

To view a downloaded .chm file do the following.

  1. Right-click the CHM file, and then click Properties.
  2. Click Unblock.
  3. Double-click the .chm file to open the file.
