Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive_file
an archive file is a file that is composed of one or more files along with metadata that can include source volume and medium information, file directory structure, error detection and recovery information, file comments, and usually employs some form of lossless compression. Archive files may also be encrypted in part or as a whole. Archive files are used to collect multiple data files together into a single file for easier portability and storage.

Computer archive files are created by File archiver software, Optical disc authoring software, or Disk image software that uses an archive format determined by that software. The file extension or file header of the archive file are indicators of the file format used.

So yes, it might be a .rar or .zip. Avira got the option to scan within archives.

No believe me i've suggested multiple times the get heuristics in the future version of Avast (Avast 5) so far i think they are working on that.  Roll Eyes  Love the anti virus but... if it had heuristics it would be so much better....

Avast has heuristics, but it's not very good. NOD32 are much better in this category. Thouh I like Avast better.  Smiley
