Error: Archive is password protected 42056
« on: July 12, 2013, 11:42:34 PM »
I have done a full scan and It came up with some files could not be scanned. In C:\Users\Ryan\AppData\Local\Temp\VI6x_nIG.exe.part. The status is Error: Archive is password protected (42056) 

I am not sure what this is and any help would be appreciated

it is just a compressed file that is password protected by the program that use it
avast does not know the password so cant unpack and scan it..... no problem as the realtime shields of avast will scan it when the program that use it unpack it

it is normal  to have some files that can not be scanned....and it does not mean they are infected
