you say always....so you find this all the time ?.....do you move to chest ?
whwer is it located ?
do you have latest java version ?
I meant to say on each line item in the Report/log after the scan, for each file that is what is shown in each column. In other words, each file has same info (of course, other than what is specific to file name).
I cannot move to chest although I have a setting to move to chest. And this is one of my main problems here: I can't do anything!
In other words, I look at this Report and it's showing all these file names and with all the information as already described. The action column shows the option "move to chest" is selected for each one.
However, when I try to click "Apply" at the bottom of the window or otherwise click in the window more than 3-4 times, it then freezes as I have described. And it freezes the entire Avast program, not just the Report window. This is the 2nd time I saw this "freezing behavior". Originally I did a scan and the Report showed me similar results with these files on my G: drive (that's my back-up, remember). That report indicated some Processes could be infected so I ran the boot scan. So this is the 2nd time I am having this same problem with "Decompression Bomb".
Not sure what you mean "where is it located"? Perhaps I have answered in saying all these files are part of my backed up data, using Windows 7 native backup utility, on to a removable G: drive.
Yes, I have latest Java. Based on my prior reading I: Deleted my Java, went and found any and all leftovers after the uninstall, and then reinstalled a fresh Java.
any other security programs installed ?
is your computer new ?
did you just install avast ?

I have Windows Firewall off. Microsoft Security Essentials is active. No other security programs installed.
The machine, Dell Inspiron 15r, is relatively new. I started using it brand new out of box August 2011. Shamefully, I admit I ran with no security programs other than MS Security Essentials for a long time.
Yes, I just installed Avast! 7 Pro (I think it's Pro....the version with all capabilities including the Firewall) yesterday.
I hope this additional info goes a good ways to helping you understand my problems here. I cannot tell you enough how profoundly grateful I am for your interest and time and kindly consideration.

P.S. I just previewed this message and apparently I am clueless how to use the Quote function. I apologize, I will need to read that. Uggh!
