[Resolved] More scan help!!!
« on: November 26, 2010, 06:46:43 PM »
After a custom scan with "all packers" box checked I received a "file cannot be scanned" message. The file is...wfallsaw_9952.exe|>resource.0000  Does this mean anything I should be worried about? There were others similar and some were zip and/or archive files. I have since unchecked the "all packers" box. I was just wondering if that file meant anything. I use avast 5.0 free. Yes, the file is password protected. No, I don't know if it was downloaded or not. I don't where it came from or what it is.

Is the fille locked/ password protected?
If you know where the file is and if it is a downloaded file. Could you just delete the file?

No need to apologize.  ;)

I made all kinds of mistakes when I had Vista 32bit.  :-[

This often happens when you have an incomplete archive file such as a .rar or a .zip.

No, this is nothing to be worried about.
