Solve : Corrupted executable file??

1.	Solve : Corrupted executable file??
Answer» The other day, while doing an AVG virus scan, I was informed that a "corrupted executable file" had been detected and placed in the virus vault. It seems to have SOMETHING to do with flashplayer. Although I'm reasonably CONFIDENT that AVG did its job and blocked this-I'm confused as to where it came from and how DANGEROUS it potentially was/is. Any info anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated."Corrupted executables" are generally not dangerous, what it's saying is that the checksum or signature of that file didn't match what the file was supposed to be. This can be CAUSED by lots of things such as file system damage, pausing/canceling the download of a file midway through, etc. Unless you have other symptoms of infection, I wouldn't worry about it.Thanks for the input-I appreciate it.
