‘’‘‘This operation is not supported for this type of archive
Cannot process “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Virus\wpv171251033318.exe\install.exe”’’

This file infection: Win32:Trojan-gen {Other}

This is the message I’m receiving after Avast! has detected a virus and following my attempt to move this file into the chest. What should I do next? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advace.

Strange. avast! detects the malwareinside a SFX archive, but it failes to move the main SFX archive. It tries to move the content of SFX instead and fails to do so because repacking would be required if file is physically removed from the archive.

Thanks for the response, although I’m not sure what your saying :slight_smile: Not a great deal of experience dealing with these issues on my end.

Maybe this could help a little.

Your log shows nothing malicious (to my untrained eyes- but I have read a lot of them), but your computer could do with a little bit of work.
I suggest:
-Update your Java to the latest version.
-Run the AVG removal tool to get rid of the AVG entries still present.
-The first “02” entry, “O2 - BHO: (no name) - {0CA2FA2F-4BAF-4CFF-9EB3-C5856AF87F2A} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\xxyaabbb.dll (file missing)”
returns no Google hits, and is thus suspicious. The file is missing (so no immediate threat); perhaps it was removed by a security program or uninstalled. I’d place a checkmark beside it next time you run HJT, and remove it.
Any AVG entries that still show up after running the AVG removal tool can also be checked for removal.

To the main event:
Navigate to the folder mentioned using windows explorer. (You may need to show hidden and system file in “folder options”.)
Do you see the file, what size is it, if you look at the file properties, does it offer any meaning?
(You may be able to delete it from the folder. I am not suggesting at this stage that you should, however.)

Go to Add remove progams and un-install all Java installs as they are vulnerable to attacks.

Latest Version 6 Update 15:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Download and install:
User Profile Hive Cleanup Service:

A service to help with slow log off and unreconciled profile problems.

Ad-Aware has not kept up with the times and I find that it is not worth the hard disk space that it consumes and the system resources that it occupies.

Download Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware (MBAM) then install it then update it and run a Quick scan:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

Go to Secunia Online Software Inspector then run it to see what other applications are vulnerable:

In addition to what has been posted above, an analysis of your HJT log shows the following problems :

I also suggest you use MBAM as did Yokenny.
