Scanning but cant get rid of archive files

[system]

Hello

I’m using the Avast free home edition 8.0

I usually do a boot scan and ive a corrupted archive c:programe listed but it never does anything about the infected files, today i had done another scan by using the ( full system scanning and then after it completed it had many archive infected passwords etc, but it never done anything about the files i tried to put it into the chest but it would not let me.

Not sure what i need to do with these files?

avast will only remove infected files
infected files detected are given a malware name…does it give a malware name?

if avast just say the file is corrupted, then it is just a scan error report and not a infection so nothing avast will do anything about…it is just telling you it could not scan it and the reason why

and why do you do a boot scan…it is not meant to be used as a regular scanner, only if avast detect something it has problems removing

Yes it does give a name or code number after i scan can i do anything about a corrupted archive ? is it something to worry about or can i up load something else that can get rid of malware files that wont conflict with Avast,

i use windows 7

Thanks
