searching for a particular file

Hi, Thanks a bunch, now I am getting somewhere.

Hi, Thanks a bunch, now I am getting somewhere.

My virus scanner (avg) says that I have an infection in FOL061C1.PMM and FOL061C1.PMM:\0024_body.html. I tried to do a search for 0024_body.html but it didn't find it. How do I search my whole file tree for an attatchment? If I delete the .PMM file am I deleting a folder?

 

Thanks

You can search for a string in the body of the message assuming that the attachment name in in the message in plain text. If that does not work then you have to do this manually by opening each message one at a time. Generally speaking though here you should be able to look at a message and see it's a bad one unless you get mail from a lot of infected systems.

folder?

Yes, and you are lucky that your anti-virus software asks before deleting.

Thanks for your reply,

 

Ok, but there are just to many emails to manually search. Can I narrow it down somehow by the file name FOL061C1.PMM. How do I know what emails are in that file?

If you open the PMM file in an ASCII editor like Notepad you will see the folder name as the first entry in the file.  Does not edit or save this when exiting.  When you get the folder name then you can go through the folder list to check the number of messages in the folder.
