Now i can delete this file now right?

My gawd…

Re-install it. Do a clean install.

  1. Get asw clear.
  2. Uninstall avast
  3. Restart into safe mode
  4. Run asw clear
  5. Reboot
  6. Install from avast website

Try also running a full scan.

why i much to do that? that not an error

Might fix it.

Ok . I try now

What version of avast! do you have?

No. It not fixed

8.0.1486

I suggest that you report the issue to the beta sub-forum. There’s another user experiencing a similar problem, please check this recent post out: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=122392.msg933231#msg933231

Edit: let’s say “typo”…

It’s a strange file. Were you using the Data Shredder from avast? Just guessing.
You need to disable the auto-protection module of avast (Troubleshooting tab of settings), be logged as an admin and, maybe, use Unlocker (if you’re not in Windows 8).

I think Avast! IS not have Data Sheredder
and I’m not sure but this error can be of “Antispam”, located in the “Retrieve new rules”

Again. 47GB. I had to use “PCHunter” to delete this big file
