Under normal circumstances avast would simply be moving an infected file to the chest, now it is entirely possible that it could move the whole. There are many AVs that would simply delete the infected file, the. pst file, effectively resulting in total loss. That isn't simple and it may that avast aborted any change as it may corrupt the. pst is a single file, a rather special database file that contains the emails and their attachments, avast has to extract that infected email and attachment and put the database file back together without damaging it. Any explanation of why Avast's prompted actions are not effective would be appreciated or any other suggestion of alternative tool to solve this problem other than manually search and delete them one by one? Thanks in advance. I know I can manually search the email subject and delete the affected email/attachment one by one, but with 46 of them, I hope to find some tools to do it. In fact when they were detected during on-demand scanning, Avast poped up a window requesting for actions such as Delete, Move/Rename, or Move To Chest I did all that but the affected attachedment files were not deleted, or moved.


Unfortunatly about 40 emails' worms and trojan-horses (Warezov-XX and Win32:Tibs-AXX) were detected and shown in the Warning section. This is the first time I use Avast! 4 Home to scan email file. Yes, it was on-demand scan, and the Warning section does contain list of all virus detected with indeed enough information to identify which email and attachment.
