Hum…

Very interesting. I checked my Avast Home build 211 again on the eicar test file. My Windows XP worked as it should…detecting the zip file, and when I attempted to open it…all the bells and whistles went off.
I was able to move it to the chest.

Maybe I am fortunate in that my copy does not exhibit the bug, but that can happen with any program.

Tim, You sounded a little upset. Please…be patient. Avast is a wonderful program with good features not always found in other anti-virus programs and it is FREE!!! Bugs are found and fixed with the help of people who bring them to light in a forum like this.

Join us, have fun, and make Avast one of the best around!
