Hello:
In need of printing out 10 years of tax returns and had to search through some old HDs (since removed from their computers) to find old installations of TaxCut (HR Block). When I tried to double click on TaxCut04.exe and TaxCut05.exe on the same disc, AVAST informed that they were Win32:Vitro infected (yes, I know this is a nasty one! I remember this infection and it took two weeks and finally wiping the main HD to stop the infection.). Then the exe disappeared. I could not find it in the Virus Chest nor through any search in Recycle nor anywhere else on the HD in question or on the current HD in the computer used to connect (via USB) to this old drive.
I really need to recover those two EXEs so I can print out these old tax returns. I plan to do an image backup of the current HD, then use Sandboxie to run these two programs. I will disconnect from the internet and the in house network. There will be no new data, thus no writing to disc, by the two Taxcut programs. The entire disc is infected and I would never use it otherwise.
Where does AVAST put such files? BTW, I have sandboxing set to off, because it was constantly triggered when I was using Delphi IDE developing my own programs.
Thank you,
Chuck Belanger
