| 615593 | 2007-11-27 06:46:00 | being a regular reader i noted the comments re AVG & Avast, Avast seemingly better, so a couple of weeks ago i deleted AVG & installed Avast - no problems really except the Avast log file today, and has previously, showed 868 files "unable to scan, archives are password protected" - most are Spybot\Ad-Aware\klcodec277f.exe - whatever that .exe is - i checked one or two and they aren't password protected, the attributes are clear, i.e. no ticks - must say AVG never gave any hint of a similar problem so was wondering if someone could shed some light on this - system is XP - thanks | jayal (1291) | ||

I know very little, indeed less knowledge re this than on the head of a pin ! Ask someone who is aged 18-24. Nevertheless, my guess is that they are in quarantine. Don't take this as gospel !

| 615595 | 2007-11-27 06:59:00 | thats klite codec pack.......why it wont scan them I dunno.....might help if you post the EXACT path to those particular files ? | drcspy (146) | ||
| 615596 | 2007-11-27 07:04:00 | Might be in the docs / temp folder, where all the files go when you install something. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 615597 | 2007-11-27 07:45:00 | can't find the log file so will have to run the AV programme to get it - will take an hour + though | jayal (1291) | ||
| 615598 | 2007-11-27 08:33:00 | did a quick scan same result there are 207 entries for these codec files, here's one C:\DownloadedProgramFiles\klcodec277f.exe\{app}\to ols\fixcodecs-O.bin and another type C:\SystemVolumeInformation\_restore{8510FB0F-C2E8-4A43-BB14-AB92D828678B}\RP143\A0010619.exe\{APP}\tools\fixco decs-1.bin hope this makes some sense |

| 615599 | 2007-11-27 08:35:00 | I wouldnt worry about it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 615600 | 2007-11-27 08:54:00 | thanks once again Speedy - spose i should keep Avast rather than AVG? | jayal (1291) | ||
| 615601 | 2007-11-27 08:55:00 | Hi Jayal, I get the same "unable to scan" message, but it has never caused any bother. As for finding the scan report, go to ... Program files > Alwil software > Avast 4 > Data > Report > Simple user interface.TXT | jebby (4580) | ||
| 615602 | 2007-11-27 09:22:00 | thanks once again Speedy - spose i should keep Avast rather than AVG? I think Avast is WAY better than AVG. And does a better job of getting rid of malware/viruses etc |
