I have McAfee SecurityCenter and did a scan on my computer. There were a bunch of unwanted programs that were removed, except for one that could not be completley removed. McAfee prompted me to send it to their email address in a .ZIP file. What is a .ZIP file? The scan from McAfee is still on my computer screen, how do I put the unwanted program in a .ZIP file and insert it in an email?

Find the file, right click and go "send to" > compressed (zipped) folder. Viola! it will make a copy of the file, in a zipped folder. (it's actually a file, but that's technical stuff that doesn't matter)

If you are running Windows XP you can right click the item, and selct Move to Compressed Folder. A .zip file is a folder that compresses what is in it.

The ZIP file format is a popular data compression and archival format. A ZIP file contains one or more files that have been compressed, to reduce their file size, or stored as-is.
