Hi there,
So I just ran my first scan, and I received some “42128 TAR archive is corrupted” in my Python.framework folder. Three of them, exactly. (a couple of them are testtar.tar and one is 30=atime=1041808783.000000000) Is this bad, and if so how bad is this exactly? And how can I repair this, if even possible?
Thanks in advance. (And sadly, I don’t know tooooo much about computers.) :T
willnotsmith: I don’t think you have to worry, I just bought a mac and avast! was the first program I installed on it. I scanned the computer right away and exactly the same thing happened to me, except I had 2 decompression bombs too (system.log.3, bootroot.loader.dmg). 
avast!: Is the decompression bombs anything to worry about or should I just leave them? ???
Hallo,
decompression bombs are usually just archives with very high compression ratio.
The corrupted tar archive might be some unsupoported extension, could you send it to cimbal@avast.com, please?

I also have several of these TAR archive is corrected, as well as ZIP archive is corrupted and OLE archive is corrupted. These seem to be warnings – what does that mean? Should I delete them?
hallo,
nope, it’s just strange property of a particular archive - nothing severe, usually.
