Just tell me 'why'. There's no need to get drastic....

So, this has to be the oddest, funniest, and just strangest thing I have seen from AVAST so far when it scans my PC.

 

What exactly is a 'decompression bomb' anyway?

A decompression bomb is a file that unpacks to an enormous amount of data - thus "flooding" the unpacking engine. It's quite hard to detect such files reliably, so it's possible that it gives some false alarms ocassionally.

Google is yo freind....;p

If it were so 'finest' it wouldn't be claiming 'decompression bomb' on legitimate software...;p

I just renewed my Kaspersky...now on 3 machines so I could dump the junky AVs on the other two....one was Comodo...and the other....Avast...;)

LMAO I so fucking needed that. 

Please, may I use that. Bombdiggity. Holy fucking shit! THAT's awesome. lol No, wait. Sorry.

It's BOMB_DIGGITY!

We will need an official ruling from Jafo on spelling and correct use of this and then submit it to Websters.

Bomb-diggity.

The only thing that could top that would be Bomb-fucking-diggity, but that would be jumping the shark. I'm sure Jafo would concur.

You have mentioned the word 'bomb' too many times. Homeland Security would like to speak to you as soon as possible :)

DHS has a limited supply of very expensive Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free cards. You must apply by the expiration date (9/31/16) or be SOL. Have a nice day.
