    Hi,

    I us a-Squared as part of my CP protection. It recently updated to version 2.0. Ran a scan and got a report that said some of my files were infected. The results were a Heuristic.ArchiveBomb on these files:

    C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Levels\Jibbel_City\server.zip/SimpleShadowmap.raw detected: Heuristic.ArchiveBomb
    C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Levels\Jibbel_City\server.zip/SimpleShadowmapio.raw detected: Heuristic.ArchiveBomb
    C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Levels\Wake_I_Onslaught\server.zip/OvergrowthShadowmap.raw detected: Heuristic.ArchiveBomb
    C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\levels\operation_nightshift\server.zip/SimpleShadowmap.raw detected: Heuristic.ArchiveBomb
    C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\levels\operation_nightshift\server.zip/SimpleShadowmapio.raw detected: Heuristic.ArchiveBomb
    C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\levels\steel_thunder\client.zip/OvergrowthShadowmap.raw detected: Heuristic.ArchiveBomb

    My question is can I get rid of these with out effecting BF2, and what is a Heuristic.ArchiveBomb. I have googled and can not find any info on it. I did a search on this site and could not find any relavant info.

    Cheers

    So can I remove them safely or should I just leave them as they have caused no problems so far ?

    Those a maps for BF; raw is an image format, They are most likely false positives.

    You can probably configure a^2 to Ignore that folder in the scan settings somewhere.
