- I have an Internet-less friend who has a serious problem: she has ARCfs'd a
- great deal of stuff on her A440 to, obviously, save space. Unfortunately
- someone (she swears not her) has encrypted the whole lot using the password
- option within the ARCfs menu (the password is unknown).
-
- Questions:
- Is it possible for her to recover the encrypted archives?
- Could a virus have accessed the password encryption feature
- within ARCfs?
-
- Any help and advice much appreciated.
-
- Cheers,
-
- Rich.
