starc Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hi I ran the program and it found me email in a zip file as stated. The file is too large to restore. Is there a way to get into the file? I can't come close to restoring the whole file at one time. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Have you any idea of the size of this zip file ? Could it be a malicious zip bomb ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starc Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 It tells me it needs 9223372036854775807 bytes to recover. It is in one Outlook Express emails.zip file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 That is twice the size of the example in Wikepedia. That smells like a zip bomb. I do not know the consequences if you try to recuva, or otherwise access, but I think you would have cause to regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted July 16, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 16, 2012 You're quite correct, this is a bug - I get the same error - and I've moved this thread to Recuva bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
