O.T. - computer virus?
wrote:
I closed all my programs down and
ran a full scan again and got the
same exact result with the message
that some files could not be scanned.
I took a screen shot and put it on
Image Shack but the image is too small
to be read.

So I've included a few excerpts below.
There's actually about a page of files
C:\Users\Rob\...\bgButton.png
C:\Users\...\bgButtonFinished.png
C:\Users\...\bgCloseProgram.png
C:\...\bgDownloadBarEmpty.png
C:\...\bgDownloadBarError.png
C:\Users:\...\bgDownloadBarFull.png
C:\Users:\Rob\...\bgHeaderError.gif
C:\Users:\Rob\...\bgListBullet.png
C:\Users:\Rob\...\bgbuttonCenter.png
C:\...\buttonCenterHighlight.png
C:\Users:\Rob\...\buttonLeft.png
C:\Users:\...\buttonLeftHighlight.png
C:\Users:\Rob\...\buttonRight.png
there's more and then I just took some of
the last files
C:\Users\Rob\...\language-cs.js
C:\Users\Rob\...\language-da.js
C:\Users\Rob\...\language-de.js
C:\Users\Rob\...\language-en.js
C:\Users\Rob\...\language-es.js
\Users\Rob\...|launcher.bundle
I cannot open any of these files or delete
them because they are password protected
and all the files have this message to the right
Error: Archive is password protected (42056).
I do not recognize the 42056 number and isn't
something I would have done.
I haven't tried using another AV or your suggestion
as yet as thought I would give you more information
as to whats going on?
Thanks,
Robert
Same symptoms here.

As near as I can determine, they're related to Adobe Flash
or something.
Another example here.

( That leads to download link for Flash 11.7.700.224 in Internet Explorer )
http://download.macromedia.com/get/f...1_active_x.exe
( and Flash 11.7.700.224 in Firefox or Seamonkey or the like )
http://download.macromedia.com/get/f..._11_plugin.exe
The "Error: Archive is password protected (42056)"
means it is the 42,056th error message the software
developers put in their source code :-) If you contacted
Avast support, and said "42056", they would look it up
in their table and they would say "Archive is password
protected". It's just a way of indexing into their
table of errors, nothing fancy.
It's too bad the software doesn't state what actual
file it is scanning. It could be an .exe with a
zipped file system inside of it, and that is what
the scanner is tripping on.
