Don't be so tetchy. Jeez. I've given you lots of flak before, because you do idiotic stuff sometimes. These days I'm trying to honestly help, but you gotta tone down the sensitivity.
So, for future reference, only download the source files off a site if you want to compile it yourself.
Onto business:
There's a good chance this compression bomb may ...[text shortened]... ain if you need it.
Please tell me you're not running more than one AV suite at once...

Now I ask... "Please step away from the computer"!~

If you've been clowning, congrats! I was fooled well. I always thought of you as a bit of music and serious level-headed online talk.

What he does not seem to understand is I want to know the underlying causes for computer problems not just quick fixes that just come back a few weeks later. This compression bomb thing is something new for me, I read the posts and it was clear Avast didn't fall for it, didn't unzip it, but as usual, I want to know the best way to deal with such threats, like is there a product out there that recognizes it and can safely delete it instead of just locking it up.
Sonhouse,

P-u
I also asked a question about seeing exactly what the CPU is doing, why it would be running slow but the cpu performance tab showing only a few %, all I got was sarcasm again. Apparently they don't know about sysinternals and programs such as process view, which I use. I was really asking if there was something better but in the face of continuous sarcasm, I just go to real computer forums where the people are actually helpful. One thing really interesting about avast is the boot mode which I had never heard of anything else using except Diskeeper. I have trouble running some of the freeware AV's while having Trend Micro just in the background. So this trick of Avast is a real godsend, it runs before windows starts and just gives the finger to Trend Micro which can't stop it running. That seems a brilliant thing to me.
By the way, sonhouse, if you do go to actual computer forums to discuss this and ask questions, please be aware these are known as decompression bombs, or DBs, not compression bombs or CBs. I would guess if you went into such a forum and asked about CBs, they'd all kinda go "lolwut?" Check my link to the Avast! forum.

Stuff it, from now on you get what you deserve from me again.

Anyone ever hear that term 'decompression bomb' before? And what it means if you have?
I am pretty sure that's what I wrote. I may have said compression in that post but it was just a mis-spell. I guess that proves I am stupid again.
I am signed up there, I should not have posted here. I won't make that mistake again.
Well, well, it seems like I'm not the only one who made that mistake:
Onto business:
There's a good chance this compression bomb may have been a false-positive, but I'd suggest you just kill the file and download it again if you need it.
Please tell me you're not running more than one AV suite at once...
Hmm, who said that🙂
BTW, Suz, thanks for the links.

I hope you've learnt your lesson about trying to be helpful on TEH INTERWEBZ, young man!
What do I get in return? Only a bad smell.
If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway,
lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale
and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The Love Shack is a little old place
where we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that's where it's at,
Ooo love baby, that's where it's at

Your problem seems to be information overload coupled with chronic over-reaction.
You hear something about any piece of software or the newest, baddest virus, and then feverishly download just more software to scan the software that scans the software, ad infinitum. And another defragger.
Then you invariably use up all your hardware resources and then feverishly download performance enhancers, registry scanners, memory cleaners and what have you, in the process just filling up your hard drive with heaps of junk and probably some malware.
Rinse. Repeat.
You seem to honestly have a need to know "how stuff works", but unfortunately you just don't seem to have the capacity to understand, or you just not enough time to actually just read simple instructions and fit this into the big picture that is: Computing On The Internet.
You need to stay away from anything except your browser and download nothing but updates for it.
