  How do I recognise an infected file in mail archives

The detected virus is placed inside an archive-file or packed file. An archive/packed file is basically 1 file containing a bunch of other files. The most common example is your email archive: most mail-programs use 1 file, which contains all the mails you sent and received. Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird and Eudora are examples of mail-programs using an archive-file to store

all emails.
