Opening a quarantined attachment

To view the code of the attachment itself, you can open the attachment in Notepad.

For best security, you should never open an e-mail attachment that Zone Labs security software has quarantined unless the sender is someone you know and trust, and you have confirmed the sender sent the message intentionally and the sender is sure that the attachment is harmless.

To open a quarantined attachment:

In Windows Explorer, browse to the file you want to open.


Double-click the attachment to open it.



When you attempt to open an attachment that has been quarantined, Zone Labs security software warns you of the potential risk in opening the attachment.



Click Inspect with Notepad.
