Hi
I unzipped a file which I thought was safe but turned out to have
multiple virus'!
My Norton Antivirus deleted the offending files but my C drive is now
full to capacity
Does anyone know how I can delete the files the zip file saved?
I have no idea what files they are and where to look
Thanks
Kay

What version of windows are you running? The methods are similar for most,
but some versions will make the process simpler.

For example, you could always look for files created in the last day
(whenever the zip was opened), then match them against those in the zip
file.

We get alerts emailed to us when any of our 200+ monitored servers are =
running low on diskspace. We then RDP to them and run a small .exe =
called treesize - it's well smart and has many views (graphical, %, MB =
free etc). also it's free (if you download the free version of course!)

Hope this helps
Steve

IIRC it's available from =
http://www.jam-software.com/treesize/download.shtml=20

Certainly the version I have is for "personal" use only but if you only =
use it yourself that classes as personal right?
