Hi Tumic:
I just ran the command in the terminal as you instructed. I'd have done it a long time ago, but realized it had been too long since I backed up everything, so that took a little time. I didn't mean to take so long to get back to you about this.
Looking at the terminal, I get the following types of warnings:
File name too long (twice)
Compressed file is too big to be processed (twice)
LHA archive is corrupted (fourteen times)
Not a directory (three times)
Compressed file is too big to be processed (eight times)
Archive is password protected (lots and lots)
ARJ archive is corrupted (three times)
Compressed file is too big to be processed
HA archive is corrupted
[edit this was a typo]
DEB archive is corrupted (three times)
OLE archive is corrupted (twice)
and finally, some decompression bomb messages:
avast: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MediaKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/MKDrivers.bundle/Contents/Resources/bootroot.loader|>bootroot.loader.dmg: The file is a decompression bomb
iPod/iPod131.pkg/Contents/Resources/iPod131.pax.gz|>iPod131.pax: The file is a decompression bomb
iPod131.dmg|>iPod/iPod131.pkg/Contents/Resources/iPod131.pax.gz: The file is a decompression bomb
iPod131.dmg: The file is a decompression bomb
As far as I can tell from other forum posts, the decompression bomb warning isn't necessarily an indication of anything serious? Do the other types of warning seem ok? I'd like to double check these with you, as I did get in the GUI report 2 infections, and the preceding red popup indicating an infection. Before this, I had run some scans that turned up some other issues, but I was able to either put those files in the chest, or delete them. I ended up deleting the files, and then ran another set of three scans. And it was these three scans where I got the 2 infections detected warnings, but no option to put these in the chest, or delete them, which is why I started this threat to begin with. Sorry for all that additional information, I don't think I mentioned it before.
Thanks!
