Hmm... comodo shouldn't make that much of a differenc. I put it on one a while back, hardly any difference. Which version did you use? I see a lot recommending 2.4

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=33530.msg280989#msg280989

Link for version 2.4

I believe there are modules in the latest comodo firewall that would run be default that could be disabled, sorry I can't be much practical help as I don't use comodo firewall.

Yes, Defense+ can be disabled. But there are crossrefereces between Defense+ settings and firewall settings. So manual firewall settings adjustment is required in this case.

I've read some of the forum posts on this subject, but don't understand them enough to know if I should be concerned about the above scan result or not?

My system runs Windows 2000 Prof.
I also routinely run UniBlue Registry scans and fixes.
Your advice please?

Don't worry about that files. They're inert.
By the way, Acrobat 7 was updated to Acrobat 8 ;)

Hi,
I am a new user of AVAST Anti-Virus. I am witching it from AVG. And now I am comfortable with Avast and it works good for me.
But, I have a question about scan result that was found after boot scan this morning.
Here is the result:

 ??? Now, I wonder if you give some comments of this corrupted Archives. What should be proper step for it and what exactly it is for?
I have vista home 32bits system and also used Spybot-Search and destroys, Malwarebytes-Antimalware, and ccleaner frequently.

Thanks in advance.

I think that has been done in this topic already as it would apply to any archive file (compressed file as the .cab ia a cabinet file, an archive).

The correct step is do nothing, as I doubt you have a means of actually checking if the "Data1.cab" with in yer another archive file .msi "PC Suite for Sony Ericsson.msi" and even if you found it to be corrupt there is little you could do short of removing and downloading the suite installation file \PC Suite for Sony Ericsson.msi\ again.

Even then it may turn out the same as has been said before it could simply mean avast is unable to unpack that .cab file possibly because it is within yet another archive.

Files that can't be scanned are just that, not an indication they are suspicious/infected, just unable to be scanned.
Also, the packaging of the file could have some error, or use a non-standard pattern...
