| Guest | windows found that this file is potentially harmful - .js extensio I have googled my brains out and I can't find the answer. I have zipped files that contain javascript files. The extension is .js. Windows Vista will extract all the files but the .js because it says windows found that this file is potentially harmful. The zipped file is on my desktop, not still in email, not in messenger. Defender is disabled. Windows firewall is disabled. I'm running Norton 360. I can't get my job done without this file and I don't know what to do. |

| Guest | Re: windows found that this file is potentially harmful - .js extensio Try right-clicking of the .zip file, and choose Properties. On the General tab, click on the Unblock button, and then Apply and OK. Then extract the files.

| Guest | Re: windows found that this file is potentially harmful - .js exte Before I got your message I found something about taking ownership of the file. So I clicked on the properties of it and changed ownership to my account (even though my account is the admin account) and it allowed me to extract it. Thanks for the help. I'll try that also in the future. "dean-dean" wrote: Quote: > Try right-clicking of the .zip file, and choose Properties. On the General > tab, click on the Unblock button, and then Apply and OK.

| Guest | Re: windows found that this file is potentially harmful - .js exte If you are in the US/CANADA please call Microsoft Security ( 866 727 2338 ) Toll Free and Free Support. And what should the rest of the world do???? How about coming with solution to this???? I want to open any exe file that I download. I'm a programmer and I want complete control over my computer. Administration right should make it easy for me to open anything, right?? how about option like " open anyway" ?? Is it to much to ask for???

| Newbie | Re: windows found that this file is potentially harmful - .js extensio Right click on the zip file that you are trying to open and go to the Details tab. Highlight the name of the zip file. Underlined in blue, it will say remove properties and personal information. You should be able to unzip your file successfully |
