Decompression Bomb Virus
They're often used in DoS attacks on virus scanners, so avast! is detecting it and refusing to scan the archive to avoid crashing the system.

Such file are not malicious per se, but they may block an antivirus program when it tries to scan them.This kind of files is rather hard to detect (and avoid) precisely - so, it is possible that there are some false alarms. It's not a big problem in this case, however - the "decompression bomb" announcement actually means something like "The file has a very high, maybe even suspicious, compression ratio and the AV is not going to scan the archive content".I'd suggest to ignore these files.

Strange result on my latest Avast scan: C:\WINDOWS\Internet Logs\tvDebug.zip\tvDebug_2009-12-15-18-56-36.log Unable to http://www.mac-forums.com/showthread.php?t=309178 scan : The file is a decompression bomb I know that a decompression bomb is a zipped file that when unzipped releases a very large amount of data but I don’t know decompression bomb whether this file is legitimate and the result of the scan is (yet another) false positive and or if it’s potentially malicious and should be deleted. I don’t recognise the file itself but I’m also confused that its an Internet Log – I use CCleaner at the end of each day so shouldn’t all internet files be deleted? And if it’s a log, what’s creating it? a decompression bomb Please could someone advise what I should do with it and whether it’s safe to delete and if so, the safest way to do this? Thank you.

It contains details of ZA activity and should only be a small size 5 - 25Mb. I'd say it is a false positive, but if you wish, you can delete it. Avast tends to label things in that way when it can't access the file to scan it. To prevent it reappearing and taking up disk space, you can shut it down. This will explain. That said, it does no harm and can be left as is. Come down off the ceiling yet? If your problem is solved, here's how to say thanks! Reply With Quote 12-29-200910:56 AM #3 Steph Me
