unable to scan.....due to zip archive is corrupted?????

by the way…i always have got some files which avast is unable to scan…due to zip archive is corrupted???..how it matters??..thanks…

for example…

c:\MATLAB6p5\java\jarext\classes111.jar\oracle\gss\util\NLSCharacter.class

c:\Program Files\java\j2re1.4.2\lib\plugin.jar\META_INF\MANIFEST.MF

thanks a lot…sorry for the trouble…pls ignore if this is a silly question… :slight_smile:

It doesn’t matter at all, it’s just a warning that these particular objects could not be scanned. In this particular case, there is absolutely no need to worry – these java jar archives are safe. :wink:

Vlk

thanks a lot vlk!!!.. i know they are safe…but i’m just curious… :stuck_out_tongue:

thanks… ;D ;D

Funny thing is: I’ve got two Sony vaio notebooks here which run virtually the same software on top of XP Pro SP1, including Sun Java.

While on the first notebook avast! 4 scans the jar archives without any notice, on the second machine it complains about corruption …

To make things even more interesting: One machine stores several gigabyte of OpenMG encoded music files. In the past avast! 4 did scan these files silently. Now (not sure when this started exactly) it complains about file corruption!

Any comments on this behavior appreciated …
