> crazily enough my install of GoLang on a windows box has a file that gets flagged as a compression bomb every full system scan.
This may have something to do with Russ Cox's blog post on recursive zip-archives "Zip Files All The Way Down" in Go: http://research.swtch.com/zip
Baseless speculation mode: There is a possibility that the recursive zip file was part of the Go test cases for the gzip package at some point. If it lingers in the mercurial commit history, it may still trigger hits from your AV software.
I just had to dig out my logs and see what it was - file in question is located in (default install):
C:\Go\src\pkg\regexp\testdata\re2-exhaustive.txt.bz2 385KB in size though opening shows a .txt file that is 58MB in size. Basicily Avast being picky and a non-positive. Probably so crompessed that it hit whatever limit on decompressing per file in avast and avast then things its a compression bomb. Opens and extracts fine, though hardly fun reading.
