Windows 7 has blocked a file that I am trying to unzip

Windows 7 has blocked a file I'm trying to decompress. Well I downloaded, but when I am trying to extract all of the files, he said
Windows has found potentially dangerous program. Windows security has blocked access to this file. What is the problem and how to fix it.

Hello

Welcome to the community of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.

If Windows 7 inform you that this file is harmful then you can safely assume that it is. It was probably altered during the compression process. Try to get an intact copy.

If you think the file is absolutely safe, I suggest to view the steps described in the article and try to perform.

    I am trying to unzip a zip file and I get a message saying that my windows vista has blocked the file

    Please tell us the EXACT text of the error (including all codes) - he can help solve the problem.

    What is the full path of the zip file (where it is currently on your system)?  It can be in a place that has permission issues that must be addressed.

    What is the file type of the zip file (the extension to three digits following the point in the name of the file)?  Some file types can not be handled by Vista unpacking program.

    Maybe you can download, install and try the free program 7-Zip http://www.7-zip.org/ and it may have more luck have decompressed the file without being blocked (even if it depends on how and why he is blocked).

    Here is a link to a free zip repair tool if you need: http://www.diskinternals.com/zip-repair/ to check if your zip file is corrupt and can be repaired.

  • I do not know my windows XP has some missing components that some applications do not work.

    I do not know my windows XP has some missing components that some applications do not work.

    "SFC 3498 records" is something that the technical support engineers who are hired by Microsoft should download so that they can learn how sfc/scannow actually works rather than send people on wild goose prosecutions that will not work.

    Looks like you just download the first file in the list of files on my SkyDrive - look down the list for the sfcfiles.dll and download it.

    To fix your immediate problem, you need to download:

    Sfcfiles.dll

    And put it in the designated folders.

    If this file is missing, it is probably being quarantined (actually deleted) by your unspecified antivirus/antimalware software.

    If this is the case, AV software you are using is distressed and he can just delete it again.

  • What this means if I want to 'Run or save' a file that I am trying to download?

    What this means if I want to 'Run or save' a file that I am trying to download?

    Refers to run the file (it's probably an exe file or similar, which runs a program).  Record means to save the file, and you can click it to run it later.  It is always better to first save the file (in a place, you can find easily) and then he search for potential viruses first before running.  Make sure you know what you click on and download, because things will immediately infect your computer - often to the point of making it unusable.

    I installed MajicJack phone on the computer and created an Exception for MJ in the Windows Firewall Exceptions tab. However, when MJ loading an error message says that firewall Windows has blocked some features of this program. The message does not give me an option to unlock. What should I do as I already created an exception?

    1. are you referring to the Windows Firewall or any other firewall?

    2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you try the following steps.

    Step 1:

  • How can I install Windows XP on my computer, after that my mother tried to uninstall Windows 98?

    I've tried everything! I can't access the desktop computer or whatever it is, cause it goes on to say that missing files. I have the Windows XP installation disc, but nothing I have does not work. I know that my mother tried to uninstall Windows 98 before installing Windows XP, but she says she has never finished uninstalling Windows 98 and tried to install Windows XP in any case. The computer is pretty useless at this point and I want to make it work again, so I can play games I have. Is it possible to run again or should I give up? Buy a new hard drive would work, if nothing else? Everything with the computer fine, except the Windows thing.

  • on my desk: Windows Firewall has blocked some features of Firefox public and private networks? What does that mean?

    I turned on my lap and a huge dialog box appears with the message above. I didn't know whether to 'Access' or 'Cancel' then just closed. Please explain.

    Firefox 36 requires the Firefox Windows to create new access rules, and Windows asks if you really want to do this.

    I do not think that these rules are necessary for the current version, but are designed to take account of the features provided in a future release, so you can cancel it just for the moment.

  • My e280 has TONS of files that it contains that will not appear on my pc...

    Hi, I have a basic understanding of computers... I think so.  Anyway, I put a lot of stolen in a cd (probably the .wav files?) on my sansa and it will play, but I can't delete or change at all.  My pc does not display these files and I want it.  I tried see if changing the usb mode would help - nope.  I have a new HP laptop which uses Vista.  Thanks to everyone who's trying to help me

    You might have a masking "your folders & files. I don't know how to do it on Vista, but it has been discussed many times here before. If you use the search function, you should be able to find out how. Or simply help your computer function. You want to "Show hidden files & folders".

  • Windows Update has stopped working - "files required to use Windows Update are longer registered or installed on your computer"

    Please let know us where I should look for IE tools | Options Internet, etc.

    ALT + T + O | Programs (6 7 tabs, from left to right)

    ================================

    Note: You can see the symptoms of an infection of hijackware due these Authentium & Norton or McAfee 'leftovers' were present on the computer for so long. It is possible that VIPRE Internet Security never installed or worked properly.

    OK - ALT + T + O given the folder options, so I guess I should have used Internet Options in the Control Panel, who brought up the Internet properties display and tab programs showed IE as default browser.

    All attempts to open IE, Firefox or even Outlook Express for that matter, fail, because apparently the boot did not go far enough to negotiate the internet connection, as the double-monitor icon is not shown in the system tray.

    Local network connection status shows as OK, but without the traffic through it.

    Any attempt to interact with the Internet Options Connection folder system crashes and tries to leave or cancel the result of process in the message "end program rundll32.exe".

    That is where she lies.

  • My computer shows a file that I am trying to remove is opened or used by another user. How it traces and shut up so I can remove it?

    XP w / Svc Pack3, all updates.  I .jpg I have one trying to delete, but the system tells me it is open or in use by another user.  I closed everything I can find.  There are NO other users on this system.  I tried to reboot the system...

    How can I find out where it is 'open' or ' in - use ' so that I can close and delete the file?  Is there another way to force the machine to remove the file?

    Boot into safe mode and see if it will remove. Alternatively, you can drag to the C drive and see if it will remove it from there.  If still no joy, try this tool.
