Decompression Bomb, a file that is highly compressed, which could be very large when decompressed. This used to be a tactic long ago to swamp the system. The name really is the most dangerous thing about this and I wish they would change it or simply not report it, a real PITA.

hi
Could someone please let me know why when i scan my computer with avast it says error decompression bomb.I have 2 files ,i reset my computer back to factory settings. scanned with mcafee,norton and avg and scanned and there was no problem, but then i scanned with avast again and they were still there. they are in windows backup
i really dont know whether to just leave them, mcafee, norton and avg say nothing wrong but avast still says there is a problem

Hi life ,
Welcome to HTG ,
Please see here : http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=8943
http://www.help2go.com/forum/computer-help/105101-avast-decompression-bomb.html Looks like an Avast thing.
Backup files are usually compressed. Apparently Avast cannot deal with them. I would just ignore it.
i think i may just ignore them mcafee and norton scan compressed files and found no problem. i also scanned my comp using Malwarebytes and that also found nothing. If anyone can suggest anything else i would be very gratefull
thanks
thanks
