C:\Windows..\clbcatq.dll:[b]WofCompressedData[/b]
Detected file is inside a compressed archive, so avast will not rip it out
  1. you have to unzip archive and scan
  2. you move/delete entire archive

i have a feeling this may be a false positive, so i would upload and check file at virustotal.com before doing anything

Hello,
the path does not look like it is archive, but NTFS alternate data stream (http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs-multiple.htm). Send us the file to analyze (https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php), please.

Hello Milos,

Thanks for your help.
I am not quite sure how to do that. I can’t seem to locate the file using file search. Also, If I manage to locate the file what exactly do you need?
Thanks Again.
Rick
