That morning Vasily received a strange letter. "Dear Vasily Petrovich, we are sending you the article you sent us earlier for approval." The letter came from the address of the editor of his journal. But there was no attachment in the letter.

"Strange," Vasily thought. He wrote back that the attachment was missing and asked to send it again.

The letter arrived a second time, but the attachment was el salvador whatsapp data again, but the antivirus beeped, announcing that the attachment was viral and had been deleted.

But the article is needed today, right? What should I do? Ask to send it in a compressed form? An archive arrived, but the antivirus cleaned its contents and wrote that the attachment contained a Trojan and it was deleted.

Vasily thought about it. He understood that the problem was on the other side. And how to get the document was unclear.

However, it seems there is a way out. He wrote to the editor again asking him to upload the letter to a cloud drive and send him a link.

A minute later he received a link to the document. Hurray, it could be opened directly in the browser and corrected! But when he tried to save it to his computer, the antivirus again objected. Oh well. The document was corrected, and let the editors fight the virus!

Of course, this is a bad way out of the situation, but it is a way out. I hope that you will never get into such a situation. However, remember that there is a way out of any situation! Do not despair!
