Yes, but you see in regards to the folders where the viruses are
said to
be, no messages what so ever show up there when I look at those
"ordinary" mail folders in the mail client. I can only see a lot of
messages in there when I open the folders in a text editor. Should I
move them from where I see them in text editor to a temporary mail
folder (through the text editor)?

Monica, when you delete a message from your mail inbox, it is not really
deleted, just some of the coding in the message header is changed, so
SeaMonkey knows not to display the message title.

To really delete the message, you should select File->Empty Trash and
then File->Compact files.

Try this and see if that gets rid of your virus.

Thanks, that finally did the trick! Have to remember to compact
folders! I used to get reminders/requests if I would like to compact
folders, but I don´t see that any more. Does anyone know if it is a
setting somewhere?
Also remember if you have backed up SM with say Moz backup there could
be a infected email in it. It is of no danger beling compacted but you
still may get a reading from a virus scan.

Thanks, I´ve got to check my backups and do the same procedures with them.
