Win98SE won't unpack/install AVG 7.5
avg75free_432a904.exe this is the correct version for Windows 98SE. This is the second time I downloaded it at 17MB. Bcz of my crippled modem, I used the FreshDevices DL manager, and it literally takes *hours*. Double click. I get this Error message: "This program is not a valid Win32 application." AAARRRGHH!!! I run AVG 7.1, SpyBot S&D, AdAware SE, and Spyware Blaster. They find no problem. I'm praying this isn't a virus, as suggested in a couple GG threads -- with this modem, an online virus scan probably isn't an option.. Thanks, JPM PS: If FreshDownload Manager corrupted the download, what's a better (free) one? Google efforts: http://www.generation.net/~hleboeuf/win32app.htm Win32app - Errors Likely cause: Resident W32 code virus, e.g. CIH Mechanism: The virus infects Win32 PE executables as they are downloaded. If these files are self-extracting archives, as they usually are, the CRC self-test fails if the contents of the file have been altered - e.g. CIH.SpaceFiller writes its code into "unused space" within the file and this breaks the checksum validity. 5-Star Support offered this: "If you receive the subject error message while trying to install a program from a CD, this may be due to corrupt installation media or corrupt installation files." No CD involved. |
