Title: archive is corrupted
Post by: masti123 on January 29, 2010, 12:42:53 PM

Hi! I am using "avast! Internet security" in Windows XP with service pack 3. i scheduled a boot time scan once. The results are "archive is corrupted' (like ZIP, CAB, Installer etc.) and also 3 threats like Win32:Spyware-gen[Spy]. Of these 3 threats I am able to remove (Move to chest) only one threat. When I tried to delete or Move to Chest the other 2 threats Showed error say (Error: The operation is not supported for this type of archive (42111). When I tried to repair them (Error: The file was not repaired. (42060).  What I should now? How can I get rid of these threats?
