Hi all,
I continue to get an error message when opening most all of the zip files I have downloaded saying it containes a virus, and the action is cancelled. Has anyone else experienced this? I certainly dont want a virus, but someone said this might just be a hoax to prevent opening many files.
Many thanks for your help.

It's not a hoax, be really careful with zip files, they cant be trusted..
This thread will explain in detail....

I would sugest scanning zip files with antivirus agent before attempting to open anything you have downloaded,wherever it came from. I found a worm/vb inside a zip file from this network,and have also found that some 'tracks' arent what they would appear to be,as some contain ads and links to other sites. use your virus kit, its worth it.......

DOes anyone know of a way to download music without it zipping it? I searched for some music and ALL the responses were zipped files and I to cant open them without the virus warning....sort of annoying after about 20 attempts to download a CD!!!

Are you trying to download a whole album? Look for albumwrap files, check the thread below for more info

Stay away from zips. Scroll up to wondering why's post in this thread, she gives a link to some good virus info.
