Please permit me to ask the OP's original question, but in a much more
precise manner. In using the AVG Virus Vault application, if a file
is deleted from this application's escrow, is that file deleted much
like a Windows file is deleted (and hence eminently recoverable) or
is the file permanently scrubbed/overwritten and not able to be
undeleted except with expensive scientific & heroic measures? The
distinction of course is important.
Windows files, that are simply deleted, have their filename's first
character changed to a 0xE5 and the FAT entries are deleted. Also,
when a file is moved from its original location to AVG Virus Vault's
escrow location, is the /original/ location scrubbed?
Reading the AVG Virus Vault on-line documentation, provided no
definitive answer.
Warm regards to all.
Pete
