It said something like error occurred at deletion. One of the entries was called a decompression bomb. All the rest said "Error while scanning Error occurred while deleting:Permission denied" Actually all said that. The decompression bomb was at the end of one. Running Release 8.04 (hardy) Can someone help, I'm lost.
Hallo,
decompression bomb does not mean necessarily "virus" - basically, it's any archive with suspiciously high compression ratio.
permission denied means that the file is protected by read-only permissions in its parent dir or belongs to some other user.
use chmod from terminal, or run avast under root, BUT first, check what kind of file it is.
