So, I ran a scan today and found that there was an item that couldn't be scanned. Under it read Error: The file is a decompression bomb. I believe that a decompression bomb is just a really big file but I'm not sure if this is totally true. Help?
- decompression bomb is just something that unpacks to an unusually big amount of data even though it's rather small (i.e. has a high compression ratio, for example). It's nothing to worry about, you are just informed that avast! will not try to unpack the archive (you may not even know that it's an archive, but it seems like it is) because it may take VERY long to process.
