Hmm, this is interesting. Whenever I try opening a RTF file after unzipping it, Norton always requests a virus scan.


It's never found anything, though, which is annoying because the scan seems to take forever.

This goes back a bit, but my recollection is that RTF files can't be corrupted with a virus. While MS Doc files can contain scripts, I don't remember RTF files being able to do so. If that is the case, as long as it is a .zip file, or ultimately a .RTF file, you should only be getting one of those nonsensical false positives from your anti virus checker.

Yikes. I downloaded Copies in Seconds, but my antivirus software said it's infected. I tend to think it's not infected just because I'm sure Jim would not have an infected file. But I don't know?
