Negative file sizes

Hi,

I’ve just scanned my /home folder with avast and found that the total size of scanned files is a negative number .

I have VirtualBox installed and .VirtualBox contains 2 two files. One is 1.4 gigabytes while the other is 2.9 gigabytes. I searched for this error and could only find this post http://forum.avast.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=306d86bc5e9e8f41496a68c7f208c4d6&topic=381.msg1732#msg1732.

I have Ubuntu Feisty installed.

My XP install on VirtualBox also comes up with a false positive. I ran XP in VirtualBox and scanned with Avast for Windows and it came up clean.

Thanks for reading :slight_smile:

Hallo,
it’s fixed, and will be OK in the next release (the bug isn’t fatal - the scanned size and statistic accounting is internally OK, only the output number was a bit 32-bit-mangled inside GUI’s class, and thus ‘clamped’ this way). But, it You want, I can offer You our internal build :slight_smile:

Zilog, why don’t you take a beta program for the release of updates?

Well, if You want some “beta”, here’s something - but it’s rather our internal-daily-snapshot, than real pre-release beta (contains some engine-fixes, some new unpackers etc.):

  1. original avast4workstation:
    http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/avast4workstation-1.0.9beta.tar.gz
    http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/avast4workstation-1.0.9beta-1.i586.rpm
    http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/avast4workstation_1.0.9beta-2_i386.deb

  2. modified avast4workstation:
    (don’t mix this version with original libavastengine - this is intedned for 64-bit machines where the normal one doesn’t work):
    http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/_avast4workstation-1.0.9beta-1.i586.rpm
    http://public.avast.com/~cimbal/_avast4workstation_1.0.9beta-2_i386.deb

Hi,

I guessed it would be something along those lines but I thought the Avast team would rather it be fixed than left.

Thanks for the offer of the internal build :slight_smile: I’ll accept it if you don’t mind :slight_smile:
