Looks fine, you've probably got a file with a .eml or .pst extension somewhere on your pc.

archive.pst is the mail store for the autoarchive feature of outlook.

I guess youve received an infected mail at sometime but perhaps not opened the attachment?

You should be able to open your archive.pst file by going to open personal folder and navigating to that file then deleting the item thats offending?

Yes should do - the personal folder files (.pst) are the local outlook mail storage files.

Should have said, within outlook go to File, Open< Personal folders file then choose the archive.pst from its location..
