I ran a scan and both…
C:\SWSetup\HPQW\qwfiles\data.1|>datafs
C:\SWSetup\HPQW\qwfiles\home.1|>homefs
showed up as “Error: the file is a decompression bomb. (42210)”
I can’t do anything to them.
Are they harmful, and what should I do?
Thanks!

Hi winstizzle,
It’s nothing to worry about. you are just being informed that avast will not try to unpack the archive (you may not even know that it is an archive, but it is), because it may take ever so long to process. So we’d suggest you to ignore these files,
