Hi
I downloaded and used this software and found (amongst other things) a:
Worm.Bagle.Gen-zippwd
in my mbox file in the inbox.
Does anyone know what the mbox file is and is it safe to remove it
(it seems to appear in most other mailboxes)?
Thanks
Adam
The file is likely part of an email attachment inside your mail folder.
You should not delete the mbox because it contains all your mail in that
folder. A smarter solution is to create a new mail folder, move the
message to there, then purge your mail folders, then scan again. The
attachment will now have moved to another file which only has that one
message inside it.
I should also point out that having a windows virus sitting inside an
email file won't actually do anything until you save it and open it
inside Windows, either by transferring it to a Windows machine, or by
launching a Windows emulator.
In short, you really don't need to worry too much about this particular one.
