| What is an archive bomb? |
An archive bomb is a file that is repeatedly compressed. These archives can cause scanners or other programs to crash or hang because of intensive resource consumption during the scanning of hundreds of levels of archives within archives.
F-PROT Antivirus now flags archive files it finds suspicious and alerts the user that the file "could be an archive bomb". You can submit a sample of this file to our development team via our online submission form.
