I would think that there would be a list in ZA, but I can't find it.
If you choose to run it, ZA will give you two warning screens.
The first screen tells you what kind of attachment it is ie:
registration entry.
If you want to go through the trouble to see which changed ext is
what, do a Start,Run and type regedit.
Expand the HKey_Classes_Root and just scroll down until you see the ZA
extension that the attachment was changed to.
Highlight it and then double click on the Original Extension entry
on the right column. (or rt clk and choose Edit)
Example : scroll down to .zl9 and highlite it. In the rt column
double click on 'Original Extension' and it will show you .exe .

"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."

If you select to run that quarantined file, just keep clicking through
the ZA warnings and it will open with the right extension.

Thanks much. Since somebody here knows ZA, I'll put my foot firmly into
it , because I haven't been able to get this info anywhere. Just where
does ZA put those quarantined files? They are most definitely not in
the inbox. ZA tech support repeats that like its a mantra.

I run the latest ZA Pro, Mozilla 1.8a with a several years long junk
training file and a set of thorough but mysterious set of filters at my
ISP. I can't find the pesky messages even with a disk search for
anything containing *zl*. I now see there are other combinations. ideas?

Fire up the registry editor and navigate to

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

Under the extension you now have you will find what it was changed from.

ideas?

I don't believe it 'qurantines' it really. When it changes the ext in
OE, the messages just stay in the Inbox with the new extension.
To open them, either keep on trying to open them through all the
warning messages, or just save the file somewhere and rename its ZA
ext back to the original one.
