Compressed files, which are very useful as they can contain several files in a reduced space, are 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 for example, we recommend that they are saved to a temporary folder -whose files can be later deleted- created by the user, instead of opening them on working directories, such as the Windows directory, My Documents folders, the Desktop, etc.
