Compressed files, which are very useful as they can contain several files in a reduced space, are a breeding ground for viruses.

It is very important that your antivirus program detects as many compressed formats as possible.

Before directly opening files of this kind such as ZIP files, we recommend saving them to a temporary folder -whose files can be later deleted- created by the user, instead of opening them in working directories, such as the Windows directory, My Documents folders, the Desktop, etc.
