Hello Marco. If you don't have any issues in using Chrome then you need not worry about that corrupted file. If you have any issues in using Google Chrome please contact us. Thank you.
I understand, but I'm not trying to buy any product until I solve this first.What is "eID_pe_iscorrupted" ? the generic description avg gives their user is not enough, there are plenty of people out there trying to figure our what this mean, if is a virus or not. The problem was solved, but I'm trying to see why was it detected after a scan if I didnt download anything else or visited any website suspicious.
Hello guys, I hope everyone is having a good day because I am not. This is not a complaint of any sort, I just want to solve some questions and maybe I can get help here :P
So this is what happened: 2 days ago I performed a full scan of my pc with avg 2015 (paid version and updated) and after that I performed another fun scan with malwarebytes free version; the scans came back with 0 results, no virus or malwares were found. That was cool right? But guess what then? Yesterday I performed another full scan with both (1 at a time) and avg found a virus or malware called : "eID_pe_iscorrupted"
It said it was fixed and I shouldn't worried about. I'm using windows 8.1 and is updated so my question is, how could that virus be detected just a day after if I didn't download or even enter any suspicious website? The only thing I did during that period of time was analysing my pc to find errors (with avg) which sent me to download the tuneup but couldnt be installed because of "invalid key" even though I never enter any license so I went and downloaded from here http://www.avg.com/us-en/avg-pctuneup and runned it and found many erros (registry, etc) which were fixed by the program. Then I deleted the program, that was all I did. Another thing you guys should know is that today I scanned my pc for errors with avg and it found the same errors it found yesterday which were "solved" by avg tune up, so what has happened?
I would really love a complete answer with details please, I'm a bit of virus paranoid guy and want to get this sorted out as fast as I can to move on, thanks!

Hello Marco. It is not an infection. If corrupted executable file is detected, name of infection may be displayed as EID_pe_iscorrupted. Don't be confused by description in our virus encyclopedia ( http://bit.ly/1fcXrGF ). Thank you.
Hello again, that corrupted file was already deleted / moved by avg , is not longer in that root. Chrome hasnt give me error for that missing file, so what happens if I leave it like that? or where I find the excutable
I'm new with these stuffs and don't want to mess anything up, thanks!

Thanks for your answer, I have been using malwarebytes for almost 2 months and never had such problems. It is a on deman program (free version) , it doesnt have real time protection so is pretty obvious is not conflicting with each other.
The problem here is are 2, the virus it detected and the avg tune up not doing its job. For the second one you answered me and I understand that those errors appear everytime I restart but I already have ccleaner monitoring my computer. Is hard to believe that 92 errors happen everytime I restart my computer while ccleaner cleans it them all in once and the next time I try to clean registry it shows clean.
Regarding the first problem, what does that virus mean? "eID_pe_iscorrupted" , is that related to avg tuneup? or a malware? please
