whocaresIt was from the Windows Explorer/right click & scanning the archive. The virus was found...I chose to 'repair'...and it continued. I thought that was great, and the problem really was fixed, because it was the first time that I didn't get a notice of how it couldn't be repaired. As I mentioned, when the archive was extracted, the infected file inside was found in the folder and I was then told it couldn't be repaired.
You asked the name of the file. Each of the archives had an infected 'setup.exe'. Sorry, I didn't quite understand the 'scan it with Trend & KAV to confirm the CIH-infection (pause avast shield for this)'.

RejZoRWho says you couldn't ask for a virus here? As long as you behave. (:
Go to:
http://members.lycos.co.uk/dillhole2003/, 'Dillhole's collection of sh** games'. I was just searching for some of the worst games ever -- and hope to find even more; suggestions welcome. Anybody have similar links?
A few of the links there didn't work, but I've been talking with the man in charge of the site and he said he'd be fixing them. As for the virus, the same one (Win95:CIH 1.x) was in two of the files I was able to obtain: the 'Pop Larkin' game and 'Smiling Pete' screensaver. Strangely, the author said that the files passed a Norton scan on his machine. Is avast overreacting or is this a case of Norton goofing up?

I've learned that this virus does bad stuff on the 26th of April (since that's the day the Chernobyl accident took place).
