I did an aVast! forum search for "Dc1142.exe" & nothing showed up, but am hoping someone can tell me if I should have any cause for concern. I did an online search for this file name (quoted) & only 3 items were found, none of which really explained what this file might be used for / associated with.
I'm using free aVast! 7.0.1466 (vdefs up-to-date) on a laptop running Windows XP Media Center Edition (all fully updated) - this Dc1142.exe file in C:\recycler folder has been showing up since Sept. 19th 2012 indicating "some files could not be scanned." Over 110 elements of this archive are listed every aVast! scan I'm concerned because I know of nothing which would have caused this (Windows update, application upgrade, new install, etc.). Is anyone else experiencing this with the same specific file name or perhaps some other archive that can't be scanned because it's password protected? I did find an indication in online search that implied the C:\recycler folder is NOT related to the C:\recycle folder associated with Windows recycle bin.
