after the boot scan it says 0% infected files,but i dont why these errors are here.
can someone please help me? i’m not really familiar with these. please tell me what are these errors,how you get them,how you avoid getting them and how you fix them.
Corruption here could be due to a different packaging method of that files.
Most of them belong to the system restore (System Volume Information), so restore points couldn’t being able to be scanned.
There isn’t that much to be worried with. Archive files are ‘inert’ by their nature, i.e., can’t harm your computer, the malware (if any) should be unpackaged before and then the antivirus will do its job.
hi tech ;D thank you sooo much for the quick reply. It’s good to know that i don’t need to worry.But do you think if i delete system check points and make a new one it will rid all those errors that i have?
Or what do you advice ?
And also what do you mean by "different packaging method of files?
And how do you “unpackaged” malware ?
Sorry man if i have lots of question ???
But i hope you still gonna answer these ;D ;D ;D
Files are packaged (zip, cab, arj…) and avast needs to unpack them to scan. If avast scanner can’t unpack, files aren’t scanned, stay there silently, won’t harm your computer. But an error message is displayed in the report (by default, you can remove this and be reported only if infected files were found).
It’s a supposition… If there is a malware inside of the archive file it will be detected when the original program unpacks it…
