I am wondering if an email that has been quarantined by my nortons can still produce the code when you expand the header to find out where the virus came from. I got this code with the expanded header and am just wondering if it is indeed the virus code?
I would search google but I gotta be honest I don't even know where to start looking.
I have read about reading the codes of viri to understand them better but honestly don't know if that is what I have here. Thanks in advance.
Should be. Depending on the antivirus program. It could be default to quarantine the virus so it can be submitted.
The header of the email will only give you an idea of where the email with the virus was sent from. Most virus scanners that I have worked with will tell you what the virus is or at least give you a filename to search with.

It is an automatic quarantine, thanks for the info I never thought that they might save the code for the submission. Duh on me. I had read a thread recently from someone wondering if you could read a virus code without catching the virus. I guess that answers my question. Thank you very much. It never ceases to impress me how helpful on this site.
That is why I spend so much time here reading. Of course my eyes are going to **** but oh well. :D
