windows found that this file is potentially harmful - .js ..

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.

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???

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
