Looks like that's your problem right there -- I don't think you've got a
virus; snap judgement, you've got bad MEMORY.
It may be devilishly hard to fix, too -- if the bad memory is in the lower
640K, as I'm betting it is, any data that goes in comes out bad.
So, it's natural for PKZIP to be unable to deal with a file, if it's doing
the file processing in a bad zone -- or if the file was once in a bad zone,
during a copy or something.
