:'(
I downloaded and installed Avast on a friend's w95
laptop some months ago ... and left it scanning.
MUCH later he got around to asking me for more help ... with a 'new' problem ... his [Netscape 4.7] inbox was missing, and as he never learned to properly use the address book ... he always replied to some earlier note
... and he was lost !
I had set _HIS_ Avast! to "quarantine" rather than to delete ... and there is a file .. of about 165 MB ! .. in his Quarantine folder. // I think he MAY have 1 or 2 infected attachments somewhere, but I had had another A/V on
his box ( and mine, and several family members'...) before switching ( happily ! ) to Avast!
I am at a loss as to how to carefully examine the contents
of this Quarantined file ( his inbox of many years ) to locate and remove the infected message(s). [[text-editor ??]]
I can bnorrow an external ZIP drive, and ... maybe with winzip or RAR ?? ... split the 165 MB into 2 parts of about
83 MB or less ... and then load these parts for tranfer to MY PC [ across town from his ] where I might be able to
do SOMETHING to restore his Netscape Inbox. (I hope!)
This fellow usually uses an OLD, OLD Mac for writing documents, etc. .... but only his wife's Win95 laptop has a modem, and a dial-up connection.
He wants MY help to get those messages ( and addresses ) back ...
and _I_ need some help
to solve the problem of "de-lousing" the quarantined "file"
so I can make the contents available
to my ( non-geek, and helplessly PC-challenged ) buddy .
H E L P ! ! ! ... please
