    I know I should've posted this sooner.
    Ever since the signature database has been updated to version 3758, NOD32 has been giving me a large number of "unknown compression method" messages while scanning the firefox setup program I've been keeping around for the past several months, during an in depth scan. I tested it on a second setup program I downloaded yesterday, and got the same results, so I suspect Nod32 no longer recognizes the compression method it uses.
    This is a little frustrating at best, as I'm forced to put up with a really big wall of text every time I run an in depth scan.

    Couldn't it be that you're using Vista with UAC enabled?

    Darn. I knew I should've said this before.
    No, I'm using XP, and this is only occurring since the 3758 update, approximately 24 hours ago.

    Actually, the package uses an unsupported compression method. After an update of the archive module, the package should be scanned fine.

    I see it. Only, it says 1077 with the date saying 2009/01/09, while the build version is 1219.
    Anyway, thanks for the info.
