Remove Email Virus in Thunderbird Mbox
Filed in: Downloads, Tips n Tricks — July 28th, 2005
My Mozilla Thunderbird received an email with netsky virus attachment this morning. The Antivir detected it but cannot clean the virus…
It popup a message saying that the virus is detected but cannot remove it due to it is inside mbox. Then, whenever I other uninfected email in the Thunderbird, the same message popup again. Deleted the infected email and clear the “Trash” folder do not help either.
I decided to try another free antivirus software - AVG Free Edition. Installed, run auto Internet update, launched Thunderbird…
AVG detected the email virus and cleaned it! Easy and fast! The AVG auto scan incoming and outgoing emails without need to configure software settings.
I am considering to dump AntiVir and pick up AVG… AVG support scanning specified folders, better email scanning support but use more system memory(few MB more than AntiVir).
What is your choice of antivirus software for email?

Clam AV is super slow when scanning your personal pc. Donno about planting it in the server though.
I’ve always liked AVG.

I use Trend Micro’s PC-Cillin and I have found it to be reliable and dependable with constant updates.
It will scan your incoming emails and place any email with a virus in quarantine where you can delete it.

I use Avast Professional, I like it for the fact that, It has a boot scanning feature that allows you to scan your entire hardisk before loading windows, This you can enable and disable, and so far it has been very helpful.
