The only way to protect it from a virus is to clean the virus from the computer.

Then too bad.

With that attitude, I don't think you'll get anywhere.

To be honest, I don't think I've ever heard of an infection that does something like this.  Are you sure you're doing this properly?  Does the other computer have WinRAR installed?  Have you tried using another program such as 7zip?

i got the solution. if we set the attribute of the desired file to

system

eg setattr "D:\usman.exe", vbsystem

by doing this the file get the attribute of system file and they i remain safe

form certain type viruses.

I used solid SFX in Winrar to stored my different files. i thought i will remain safe form certain viruses. but putting my data USB in other computer my rar compressed file aslo get infected and showed message "Create a fresh copy of the file" " the file is ......." like this .

But i m still looking for a software that compress my files and the main and compressed file dont get infrcted. As u know most of the viruses infects exe
and Dll files.

Maybe I'm crazy, but why not clean out the infection first?  Or is that why you are putting these files on the computer?
