Pc Blue Re: rar file with worm


I am trying to download a program and every time I do my security system quarantines and removes the program when I try to unzip. It says it contains win32sdbot worm. Is there any way to remove the worm prior to unzipping so I can save the program.

A bittorrent site? My advice is, if you want it buy it. You can't seperate the worm from the RAR file, as in all honesty the RAR file probably contains nothing more than the worm. Sorry.
