Newer version of Windows (Vista and later) can open ZIP files internally, but on Windows XP you need to install an archive manager to open and extract files from a ZIP archive.

You can look at the 7-zip file manager or WinZIP or WinRAR if you do not have an archive manager:

Download the Zip file from the email.
You need Winzip/Winrar software..
Winzip is available in Windows default.

  • Right-click the ZIP file.
  • Click "Extract All."
  • Select a destination for the extracted files.
  • Click "Extract"

Dear cor-el. Thank you for your suggestion....I did download the second of your suggestions. But something was nagging at me when my Malware popped up --so I check with Snopes and this was a virus. I am from a different time....can't understand why brilliant young people take pleasure in creating viruses that can destroy my computer......Don't young people have a conscience these days?
