Ok that is very nice
The "archive is corrupted" error simply means that the scan
could not unpack the archive file, not that the file is corrupted. This most often happens when a proprietary file compression system is being used.
The "The file is a decompression bomb" error does not usually mean that the file actually is a decompression bomb (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_bomb). Typically, this error occurs with heavily compressed files as they can bear some resemblance to a decompression bomb. As a compression bomb works by overloading the system when it is unpacked, the Avast scan does not unpack these files simply as a
precaution.
If there was something malicious embedded inside the compressed files, it will be identified if/when the file is unpacked by another program (as the File Shield will scan any compressed file at the time that it is unpacked). Therefore, it is safe to ignore these "unable to scan" results.
Isn't should be better to see in the results
Avast could not unpack this archive file?
or
Avast scan does not unpack these files simply as a
precaution?? and not BOMB?
It really scares the users!!
If there was something malicious embedded inside the compressed files, it will be identified if/when the file is unpacked by another program
What if I ins†all the update before avast antivirus?
Very disappointment, because I really love avast in my Windows PC, but in macOS eww
