Hello all! I recently formatted my hard drive. I backed up my data, emails, etc. (I use Thunderbird) and installed the latest version of Avast! on my fresh WinXP install.
For kicks I decided it would be a good idea to have avast run a virus scan on all my backed up data just in case. It turned up a “decompression bomb” in my email programs inbox. The thing is the inbox is one whole file (or looks to be anyway), inbox.msf. I am afraid to open it.
How can I delete the offending email without deleting my entire inbox (I have hundreds of emails that I need to keep)? The file avast has found is called “partno_0#2958668151”. I’ve ran a search in Thunderbird for an email with this header, subject and have found nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
