Hello,
The error messages follow:
- Unable to Scan: Archive is password protected
It means archive is protected with a password, for instance some installation programs protect themselves this way. Some applications store files (viruses/private data/...) which a user should not execute or see. We warn you, avast! couldn't scan the archive - because password is unknown for us.
- Unable to Scan: Compressed file is too big to be scanned
Generally speaking this error says the archive is light corrupted and we couldn’t create a file because its uncompressed size (stored in archive header) is invalid, e.g. 20Kb archive (in most cases) will not unpack itself to 2Gb size. Avast shows you this error for every GZIP/BZIP2 corrupted archive.
If you weren’t persuaded the files are really corrupted (e.g. you got no error msg during unpacking), you can send me them for furter analyze.
The files that earn the "ZIP file archive is corrupted" message are all Java files.
Yes, java files are zipped - and some of them don't use CRC32 field in the header - so we (and winzip/winrar/... tools) give notice these internal files are corrupted. You can search for "java zip" string in this forum for more information.
The other an AudioFileReader
and if you unpack the archive manually, do you get an error ? If not, send me it .
The Archive file that Avast indicates is password protected is:\temp\trz4\vpwue.exe
Is this file associated with Avast?
Yes, it is; "trz" means "trezor" in czech (="safe" in english).
What is the best course of action when Avast indicates that an Archive file is too big to be scanned?
Again, if you can unpack those archives without getting an error, send me that archive.
The most pressing problem that I am having involves a virus. Last night, Avast indicated that there are two files infected with the ZipPSW worm.
you can delete the archive, it contains one infected file.
