Its fine, Avast needs updating probably.You shouldn't need the files in the pre driver install unpack location. So that whole folder could be deleted if you wanted.EDIT:Just make sure you only delete https://community.amd.com/thread/198734 stuff from the unpack folder and not whats in use by the post driver install, check the location of the file its moaning about.

Strange result on my latest Avast scan: C:\WINDOWS\Internet Logs\tvDebug.zip\tvDebug_2009-12-15-18-56-36.log Unable to 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 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? 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
