Corrupted Files

Note

Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.

 

If a file is corrupted, the filter may not be able to interpret the contents of that file properly. When this occurs, an event is written to the event log. Sometimes a file cannot be filtered because of a defective third-party filter. After verifying the contents of a file, an administrator should report problems to the filter vendor. Files protected by passwords are not filtered.
