Establishing a path to the recycle bin

R

Roy Starrin

My Eudora inbox was corrupted yesterday
I deleted it knowing that it would move to the recycle bin and Eudora
would create a new one. Though I have no other indication, I am
concerned it is a virus, and I want to scan that folder, which now
resides in the bin. I cannot establish a path to the Recycle Bin to
I.D. it to an anti-virus product. Any thoughts would be helpful.
A full scan (Norton 2005 - That's what I have; if it's a virus, it
missed it on the way in) revealed nothing and attempting to go to an
online scanner reveals they want a path, established or browsed.
Can't find the bin.
Help please
TIA

Why are you sure of that. I'd bet it bypassed the bin.

No, it did move to the bin. A good soul subsequently pointed out
to me that when I clicked on the file in the bin I could then go up to
the "Edit" for the bin and move it wherever I wanted. I did.
Since then, The entire file has been transferred to Symantec's
Security folks and they are (they say in their automated replies)
scratching their heads as we speak.
