Title: Errors 42125 and error 42127
Post by: crofty59 on February 17, 2013, 05:14:05 PM
After a boot scan i got these 2 errors.

File C:\Documents and Settings\Pete's\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\4IPRUBLD\winauditu[1].zip|>WinAuditu.exe Error 42125 {ZIP archive is corrupted.}
File C:\WINDOWS\Temp\_avast_\unp37475553.tmp|>wm10l\wmp.dll Error 42127 {CAB archive is corrupted.}

I am pretty sure error 42125 is nothing to worry about  :-\

Not as sure about error 42127

Cheers

why do you run a bootscan....any problems?

both are corrupted archives..... located in temp folders
clear your temp folders and the errors should be gone...

- Corrupted Archive file, this could simply mean that avast is unable to unpack it to scan the contents of the archive and assuming it is because it is corrupt. Even if it were corrupt there is nothing that a user can do to resolve any corruption, short of replacing the file. This I wouldn't recommend (especially if this is for archives in the \System Volume Information folder, part of the system restore function) unless you are getting problems relating to that file outside of the avast scan.

This one C:\WINDOWS\Temp\_avast_\unp37475553.tmp is wher avast unpacks files that it is going to scanned and under normal circumstances on successful completion of a scan this _avast_ folder should be cleared by avast.

The underlying question is why did it remain in that temp _avast_ folder.
What other security based software do you have installed (anti-spyware, etc.) as interception by another security program so that it can scan it could stop avast from clearing its temp folder ?

If you have other resident anti-spyware applications installed you should add the C:\WINDOWS\Temp\_avast_ to its exclusions/ignore list/s.

Hi DavidR

No i don't have any other resident anti-spyware applications.

I do have the free version of Malwarebytes antimalware  on demand only.

The free version of MBAM shouldn't be an issue as it won't be scanning files on-access, so it is bit of a mystery as to why that unpxxxxxxx.tmp file was still in the _avast_ sub-folder.

I also have no idea.
Everything seems to be working okay with avast.

thanks for your assistance
