where are the infected emails gone?
« on: June 29, 2005, 11:26:34 AM »
Hi there
Can anyone tell me, where avast puts the infected emails after the scan. I'd like to check the sender-addresses of these mails.
Thanx,
toby

It depends on what action you selected. If you chose to delete them, they are gone. If you selected to move them to chest, they are in the virus chest (you can access it from the Simple User Interface); etc.

Why would you want to check who it came from (warn them perhaps or block email from it)?
The likelihood is that the from address is forged which is common practice, so trying to warn, etc is pointless. The from address is forged using an email address found on the infected system, addressbook, documents, web pages, etc.
