Error message in Avast free edition!

The version is 1.3.0. The screen shots are what I got when I ran a scan and the updated database from the File menu.

The first one should be run through a PE scanner to find out what application (Armadillo, exe32pack, NeoLite, PEtite, Shrinker32, UPX, WWpack, etc, etc) the executable was packed with. The second one I already addressed here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi....php?p=4265991.

What does PE stand for and after running:

Code:

sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=$[33554432*2]

I got the error:

Code:

error: permission denied on key 'kernel.shmmax'
