I won't touch it. :-( Not very tech savvy eh? Quite the contrary. Once you start a zip file running things happen so fast you have no effective control over what it does. A zip file running? It's not a self extracting .zip file. It has no executable code (or attached scripts) with which to begin 'running' It contains no executable programs, either. It contains a single ascii text file... You say that but I don't *know* that. Nor, despite your belated claims, do I know what it contains. I don't know you and, again, despite your claims do I know you are an expert in anything. I am sufficiently cautious about what I feed my computer that among other things I have HTML disabled for my email and run Malware Bytes among other things. I am currently being bombarded via email with opportunities to open all kinds of files from all sorts of strange people so when someone I have never previously heard of invites me to open a ZIP file without explanation I reject the opportunity. With your claimed expertise and background you should know enough to not be surprised when people turn down your invitation. And read (for example) https://www.opswat.com/blog/how-do-i...-other-malware or http://tinyurl.com/lwyooxp Did you read it? Yes I did. What's more I understood it. Do you think it is appropriate to subject the casual news group subscriber to this kind of nonsense and risk. "Clean original file with malicious files found after extracting". -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
