quarantine - not enough space
« on: May 25, 2012, 02:04:23 PM »
Hi,

Avast detected in a thunderbird directory VBS Ka A
I wanted to put it in quarantine, but I got the message " 112 : not enough disk space"
But there are plenty of space in my disk (1,56 To)

Is it a known problem?

Thank you

Can you open Thunderbird and delete only the infected mail?

Thanks to all


Tech : when I scan , only the infected directory is indicated ; how to find the infected mail in the directory?

Hmmm... I do not use Thunderbird, is this "directory" a folder of Windows Explorer or just an internal box/folder of Thunderbird?

Sorry , I was'nt clear

For Thunderbird , it is a folder
For Windows , it is a file

I have a file (400 Mo) with all the mails which are in the folder
So I think avast cannot detect the infected mail
May be I can transfer some of the mails to an empty folder, check which folder is infected, then transfer again, and so on.....

Well... It was brute force but at least you're clean now.
