corrupted and unreadable file

I ran into a weird scan result in which a file in avast named awsAr1.log which is have no clue how important it is or what it is for.

The scan error goes, “The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable(1392)”

It is the anti-rootkit scan log, it can be safely deleted as avast will recreate it the next time you initiate a scan which includes the anti-rootkit scan.

when I downloaded the update I got an error msg of Error reading data from "C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\Setup\part-set_ais-557.vpx."Setup cannot continue. I have never seen that and dont know what that means. can anyone help with a fix or info on what that is! thank you very much for the help.

Lena you should create your own new topic:

  • Please start a New Topic of your own here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2.0 (click the New topic button at the top of the page see image) as this seems unrelated to the original subject and will just confuse the topic and we will try to help.

In that topic, copy and paste your post here and please state what avast version you actually have, the latest is 7.0.1426 ?
