Alrighty...so i downloaded a few albums of my favorite band(I own them all, its just much easier to do this than to cycle through each cd and name them) And i think it has a virus. My question is, if i compressed the files using 7z, .zip, .rar, or other format, will it like quarantine the trojan or whatever it is? So that way it can't produce another one after my virus software removes the trojan?

Answer:
Before Zip or Rar scan thoroughly your system and remove all viruses etc: then use Zip or Rar otherwise virus will be there when you will open Rar or unzip the virus will appear again. so be careful in zipping or rar without scanning.
