Title: Strange Results
Post by: starlifter on May 10, 2013, 03:44:36 AM

Ran a full system scan and AVAST came up with these results:
 Examples
c\..\bgdownloadbarfull.png
c\..\buttonleft.png
c\..\headererror.png
c\..\windowconfig.xml
  After each entry I get Error Archive is password protect.

There are about 80 entries like this.  What is it and should I be worried.  Also, cannot move any of this or delete
Any help??

Doesnt mean anything, just means that avast cant scan inside those archived files.

avast is a antivirus program and will only take action on infected files...... and this is not infections, just a scan error report
files that can not be scanned for whatever reason avast give, are just that.....it does not mean they are infected

Thanks for the quick reply.  Takes a little worry out of me.
