I got a folder containing some malwares.
I is been archieved by 7zip (and has 7zip archieve format)
On manual scan my Avast free V9 detects lots of malware withinmbut when it come to cleanning(automatic fixation) avast says this type of file archieve is not supported making The scanner freeze.
I put one malware in a 7zip folder and avast was able to clean it successfully.so the file type is supported
but the folder I mentioned has more than 45 malwares and Avast cannot handle it.
I can upload the folder somewhere if necessary.
Is the zipped file password protected?
Have you checked what happens when you run a bootscan?
What exact version of avast?
What os and service pack(s)?
