OMG, that's hillarious. Sucks to use winzip. I personally use winrar. Why wouldn't you scan that in the first place? Whenever you get a file, just scan it first, save yourself future troubles. That's sneaky though.....the way that's done. VERY sneaky

Yeah I got this email about me being on a spam list. I was all,hmm interesting so just for fun I saved it and opened the zip file. I got the warning as soon as I tried to extract it.
I knew it was a virus, just wanted some fun.

AVG. I actually have to update it since soon definition updates won't work since there's a newer version.
But it's rare it even catches a virus, I usually do before it does. But it's good to have for p2p since it will tell me if a file in a folder is infected before I even have a chance to see it.
