I have been doing regular full system scans on my computer and it says that there is no viruses. When I use boot scan, twice I have gotten the following error message and I have no clue what it means. Do this mean I have a virus on my computer? I’ve had issues with this computer before so I did a complete restore on it. I have Windows XP. Here’s what came up.
C:System Volume Information-restore[202550A8-7A33-4BCA-9586-051D24DDBF8F]\RP102/A0016451.exe\wise0010.bin Error 42145[installer archive is corrupted]
I also got this same error message twice on both boot scans and the second one had
A0016474.exe in it instead…same exact message just different .exe file.
No, it doesn’t mean any infection. I means avast cannot unpack the archive (broken or whatever.) If you cannot live with the message, then flush your system restore points.
I think this is the same thing I been getting for a long time now...
I get this on my XP SP3 laptop also.... error 42145 Installer archive is corrupted...I have been getting it for some time now and about a year or so ago did a recovery and right after the recovery was done, I installed Avast 5 at that time and still same issue...I googled it and with all suggestions came to the conclusion that it is nothing to worry about.... If I scan with any other scanners as Malwarebytes or Superantispyware or Spybot or ClamWin Portable.. etc. They never find this...Although Avast only finds this on a Boot Scan not on regular scans ....I deleted all my restore points shut off restore for a week cleaned all out...Did all kinds of tests Stil there on "Avast Boot Scan" Only...
In Other words "If it's the same issue as mine?"..... I don't think it's anything to worry about...Cause my laptop has never ran better...
Cheers !!!and safe surfing!!!
