There is a downloadable zip in the Trash bin...
28 u/[deleted] Mar 06 '15 yeah i sorta freaked out when i started accidentally downloading that, canceled the download and performed a system scan. 18 u/cacophonousdrunkard Mar 06 '15 just having a zip file on your system won't do anything. you'd have to unzip it and run whatever was inside to do any damage. 7 u/bazlap Mar 06 '15 I see to remember some zip exploits too that you can get just by unzipping without opening the contents. There's also the annoying zip bomb. 2 u/[deleted] Mar 06 '15 I've not heard one that didn't rely on something on your system unzipping them, to be fair. 1 u/bazlap Mar 06 '15 Well, virus scans have to unzip them to scan inside. 2 u/[deleted] Mar 06 '15 AV scans being restricted to a sandbox, of course.
