My entire e-mail inbox was quarantined. If I restore it, how can I delete only the infected files. The identified virus is Exploit.IFrame.Gen. Would it work if I restore the file, set the advanced selections to "treat files as a mailbox", and then rescan? I am not sure what "treat files as a mailbox means" except that it parses files. Does this mean it parses individual e-mail messages?? Would this eliminate only the individual e-mail and not the entire inbox folder? If not, is the Exploit.IFrame.Gen a real threat or not....I cannot find any information on it?

I can't provide any information about your mailbix, but Exploit.IFrame.Gen is a 2005 exploit (at least--maybe earlier). Here is the Web location for some information about it in an AVG forum.

Regards,

I believe the result from "treat files as a mailbox" will be that it clamwin will only report infections in a mailbox, and will not move/remove the file. It definitely won't remove only the infected message.

Here's my advice:
- Restore the mailbox
- Clean up your mails (delete any suspicious mails, attachments that you don't need etcetera)
- Compact your mailbox ("Compact this folder" in Thunderbird, I'm not sure about Outlook or other email clients).

Then scan the mailbox again and see if the problem is solved.

hope this helps,
