What file from archive is infected

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Is there is a way to find which file from archive is infected.

This is probably false positive but I have SFX archive which is more than 3 years old and no change were done to it since then.

3 months ago I made a complete scan using 8.0 1482.45(using maximum sensitivity on everything(including boot time scan))and avast didn’t find anything(it never suggested that the archive contains any kind of mailware till now)

3 months ago till now,avast was uninstalled,the pc didn’t have network connection and no new files were copied.Now after I installed the newest version and did a quick scan,avast said that the SFX archive contains Win32:Malware-gen

I also have the archive contents in a folder in the same directory as the SFX archive(they exist there from even longer time than the SFX archive which I create and no change is done to any of the files)but avast don’t say anything when I scan the folder.

It’s just weird…I even extracted the SFX archive in a virtual machine,create a new SFX archive with the files and when I scan it,avast didn’t say anything.
Why this is happening?

What is the full line of the result (where avast! says it’s infected)? It contains the name of the file inside of the archive.

The only name it shows is the SFX archive name…like the archive itself is the virus,not something from it side it.

If I delete all of the files from it in the virtual machine and then try to scan it,avast says that the file is Win32:Malware-gen
SFX archive with nothing inside
