Zone alarm quarantine location?

[mhagen]

Using Mozilla 1.8 and XP pro and and I can't for the life of me find
where Zone Alarm has hidden 3 quarantined emails. They are not in
Mozilla, any of the normal temp file areas or ZA that I can find. All
files are set to be visible. ideas?

I was puzzled about this as well.If you find out can you let me know
as i can find no trace of it.

I don't believe ZA puts them anywhere (as far as incoming email goes).
I use OE6 and those emails just stay in my Inbox.
I believe all it does is just change the ext. ie: it changes an .exe
extension to .zl9.
To open that file, you either have to rename the extension back to
what it was, or just double click on it and say OK to the double
warnings that ZA puts out. ZA usually offers to open some of those
with a 'word editor' so that you can 'safely' see the contents.

Yep, that's the company line. While checking their support page, it
seemed like a robot was answering. They are probably exactly right, as
far as that goes. In real life, not everybody uses outlook express and
apparently other browsers yield differing results. Mozilla has several
junk filtering tools and between that, Zone Alarm and Panda AV, there
are a couple dozen places where trashed and junk filtered emails, real
quarantined files and misc crap end up.

To lead on to the rest of the story, since my Panda Titanium
subscription was running out I tried out Avast! It not only found
viruses Panda didn't report but found them IN Panda.Dll. Looks like
Kuang and on the second run, Nimda. Since Avast doesn't clean files,
I'm pondering the next step. I turned off system restore (win XP pro)
and now it looks like I'm going to manually dig out these buggers.

....but a lot of people do,
and for them there's an application that can provide a large measure of
safety against dangerous HTML content:

It's not free, and I didn't bother to look for a gen, sn#, or crack,
since there's no IE/OE onboard here, but for those who insist on using
those crap magnets like IE/OE, you might want to take a look at it.
