PST scanning

[Microsoft]

Can anybody suggest an anti-virus solution that can scan the contents of
*.pst, *.ost & *.dbx files? I am looking for a solution that can run from a
script and does not need to be installed.

I believe Avast scans DBX files. However these are database files and you can't really
remove an email or news post from an Outlook Express DBX without corrupting it. You can
scan within it but the you woul dhave to go into OE and remove the miscreant message/post
manually.

When it comes to PST files (and OST files ?) any MAPI compliant anti virus application (the
coprporate versions of McAfee and Symantec) can scan inside these files while MS Office
Outtlook is open.

Forget about a scripted idea.

For this target try-'ost to pst'
(http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/osttopst.html),know how convert all
information from Microsoft Exchange (files with the .ost extension)
into files of the Microsoft Outlook mail client (.pst files) - OstToPst
procedure,can use the ost to pst conversion tool to easily move your
messages, contacts, notes, meetings, reminders, tasks and all other
information, effectively convert all information from the local
Microsoft Exchange storage into a Microsoft Outlook file - ost pst
conversion (Microsoft Outlook .pst converter).
