Solved Decompression bomb false positive or real?

[Ricoman]

Very late last night I ran a quick avast scan and it found two decompression bombs that it couldn't scan. A few days ago I did increase my sensitivity settings. Test whole files was unchecked & the suspicious behavior HIPS monitoring was set to one bar now two. Could this just be a mistake because I changed these settings and what scans should I run next to verify it is or isn't a real virus?

I attached a screenshot below of what the infection inside avast scan history looks like. I'm running Windows 8.1 & both it & Avast are always up-to-date. This is just a cheap best buy laptop but here's the specs I was able to find out that are also on my profile. CPU: Intel i3-3130M, 4GB RAM, Intel HD 4000 Graphics, Firefox Browser, Logitech M100 Mouse, 678GB HDD.

Hello Ricoman:

It is quite possible that the files are virus/spyware database files from Microsoft.

Individually, send both files to https://virustotal.com and scan. Then post both report URLs in your next reply.

Only if both are digitally signed/verified by Microsoft Corp. can you choose to treat both as false positives that may later need to be entered in Avast's exclusions list.

I could only find the second one in My Computer, here's the results.
