Should I be concerned

My most recent complete “deep” scan came back with 500+ files that could not be read. I am a novice user so I am asking for your patience and help. I have attached a copy of the results. If anyone could take a mooment to review and let me know whether or not I should be concerned… I would be very greatful.

See http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=35347.msg297170#msg297170 this topic for more information on why files can’t be scanned.

Files that can’t be scanned are just that, not an indication they are suspicious/infected, just unable to be scanned.

Thank you for your quick and clear response!

No problem, glad I could help.

Given that information are there any particular entries you are not familiar with ?
If so can you post a few common examples as a 117KB text file is just too much to beaver through.

Welcome to the forums.

Thanks again! Most of the 500+ lines were somewhat repetative in directory and error. Here are a few of the main groupings:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS3\Server\plugins\com.adobe.versioncue.persistence_3.0.0\template\vcdbtemplate.zip\data\database\data\ibdata1 [E] The file is a decompression bomb. (42110)

C:\Users\GLRobbins\AppData\Local\Temp\iolowupd\SystemMechanic.exe{pf}\iolo\Common\Lib\SpyData.dll\SpyData.scp [E] Archive is password protected. (42056)

C:\Users\GLRobbins\AppData\Roaming\SUPERAntiSpyware.com\SUPERAntiSpyware\Quarantine\Quarantine - 01-15-2009 - 15-35-23.SBU{017DCD01-3EE2-4FF8-811C-193C0D6FE144} [E] Archive is password protected. (42056)

“Archive is password protected” means exactly what it says - the archive is password protected ;)… we (and anyone else) can’t unpack it without knowing the password…

Thanks to the both of you for your help! ;D This has been the quickest, clearest, and most helpful responses I have received from any support group… paid and unpaid!!! :smiley:

You’re welcome.
