If .cab files to be scanned against problems?

My computer uses Vista. My Avast! antivirus does not scan the .cab files. There are probably 100 + of these files, they require a lot of space on drive C? How can I identify them and their need to remove those who will not compromise the operation of the computer. These files should be scanned for problems

http://www.Tech-Pro.NET/HOWTO-Open-cab-file.html

Above indicates which .cab files do and are.

The CAB files are used because they take less space to store and take less time to send or download. They are also a great way to pack and send groups of related files. However, you cannot run a program directly from a Cab file. The files need to be extracted or unpacked from archive before they can be used.

I wouldn't be deleting.

  • Error reading the RAR and Cab files to Samsung HD103SI 1 TB

    Recently, I installed Win7 - 64 bit on a new Samsung HD103SI HD. However, I had the following problems:

    1 unpacking everything .rar or cab file generates an arbitrary "Volume is corrupt error". I downloaded the same file several times and repaired with WinRar, but the error persists.

    2 try to install any application or software (installation files run from the HARD drive or from a USB external), translated by Error1335 (cannot read disc source or other generic copy errors).

    3. I tried lowering the maximum memory of advanced boot, as well as the msiexec commands in the BACK, with no result. I also run Windows (for RAM) memory diagnostic in DOS mode, and did a full scan of all partitions of the HDD in Dos Mode (command/r). No problem not found in both cases. Also tried disabling firewall ESET and Windows, but mistakes always pop up.

    4. what actually WORKS is when I try to run the same files (which gave errors in the file corrupt) in safe mode. It installs (or decompress) without complaint.

    However, I can't keep coming back in safe mode whenever I need to unpack / install something on my HARD drive.  Is it a driver problem or something else in conflict?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Since it runs from USB key then is sounds like a hard drive or a hard drive problem-
    Check wiring (do not exclude what I saw wiring cause similar corruption
    Questions). Run the diagnostic test of the constructor which is much more intense than chkdsk.

    Would be a good idea to inquire about possible alternative drivers of Samsung Support and
    other options you may have. Especially if the disc is defective.

  • Corrupt CAB file

    I am trying to install Windows Media Player 11 and make me an error message saing I have insufficient disk space to Exchange files or have a corrupted .cab file.  I don't have a problem with low disk space, so I think it has to do with the CAB file.  Also I am not able to install other programs beside the media player and need to update my drivers.  I am running Windows XP Home Edition.
    It's the exact error I get installing Media Player
    "Extraction of file failed. It is probably caused by low memory (low disk space for swap files) or corrupted Cabinet file. »

    Navigate to the click on the right from my computer to the disc, and then select Properties tools.   Run scandisk and fix all errors.   Then run Defrag.

    Then, if the source of Media Player is a DVD: wash the disc with warm water with a drop of washing dishes hand liwuid. Rinse with plenty of hot water and dry with a clean, lint cloth. If this is fropm a file DL, re - download.

    Hello

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities.

    According to the description of the problem, it seems that you try to remove the cab files.

    You can remove the old data1.cab install files if you know what they contain or if the program that is used to rely on them more.

    Important: If you remove a version of that file which depends on program, you may not be able to start this program or use wisely.

    Please follow these recommended steps and post if you still experience the problem.

  • Error installing windows7 web DirectX, a .cab file cannot be trusted.

    Hey,.

    I tried to update DirectX on my PC, it's a clean install of windows 7 with AVG 2011 installed. Winsows updates are set to automatic and Win7 is indicating that there is no update available for installation.

    There is no problems with the installation of windows 7 and everything I've done so far has been very good. The disk of 64-bit windows 7 is OEM, but to my knowledge and the knowledge of suppliers, nothing has been changed for their release.

    I know that I need the components of performance for games and some applications of directx9 so I went to microsofts website to download the latest DX runtime which is a web installer. On execution of the installer, I get an error message indicating "a necessary .cab file for installation cannot be trusted. Please check cryptographic services are enabled and the certificate file is valid.

    I activated win7, I checked the cryptographic services and its set to auto and confirmed that he's begun. I felt that maybe he had a problem with the download of the web installer so I I blush of. E hide batch cookies and downloaded again with the same error. Then were just to confirm so I tried 3 times without success.

    Help, please?

  • Error 1311 - missing Data1.cab file

    I studied this problem and still need help because I think my problem is different. First of all, here is what happened...

    I bought and legally own CS4 Master Collection. I had it installed on my desktop. I ended up uninstalling Adobe Acrobat 9 pro. A week after having done that I had to do a system restore point BEFORE restore I uninstalled it. If the program obviously showed once again, but with the error. Due to the mistake, I uninstalled CS4 completely, thinking I could reinstall it again. Well when I went to reinstall, he already said that Adobe Acrobat 9 is already installed so I could not select to reinstall. All other installed programs very well. And then when I try to repair Acrobat 9, it shows not even during installation with the other CS4 collection. And when I double click to open it, it opens and when I go to fix it, it will open a box to install saying it will install and then gives this error 1311 saying the Data1.cab file is missing. And it is absent.

    So my question is, how do I uninstall when there is no option to uninstall. Or how to make the Data1.cab required instead to see if it will indeed install correctly?

    JeneenSW you have the option to uninstall through programs & features/add and remove programs?  I'm sorry that you have not specified which version of Windows you are using?  But yes, please run uninstall before running the cleanup tool.

    Looks like you were using the AdbeRdr940_en_US.exe (from http://get.adobe.com/reader/) to install Adobe Reader 9.4.0. This EXE retrieves a MSI file with the .cab file and therefore the need to provide both during installation.

    If you want to use just an MSI to settle over a company facility, please use the MSI drive from the following location:

    FTP://FTP.Adobe.com/pub/Adobe/Reader/Win/9.x/9.4.0/en_US/AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi

    This should solve your problem.
