H4ello Clete,
Those files are in quarentine by Norton.
If you really want to keep the ZIP file around but do not want to see this
error you can disable scanning inside archives.
Clear the checkbox for "Scan inside archives" in the Options section under
the Tools menu.
Generally, threats inside archives, while good to know about, are not
"active", meaning they can't do anything bad to your system while inside the
archive.
Whatever you do, (installing and updateting or unistalling) always as a
administratºr.
Have you tried these operations running in safe mºde?
In safe mode, some of the protective services which these programs use to
ensure that they aren't removed, are not running, so they are easier to
remºve.
Getting into Windows Safe Mode.

Also in safe mode. Do full deep scans with Windows Defender. Ditto with the
ªntivirus.
Reboot
Go to Ewido and safery.line and run the scan.

Look for the broom Clean up, also Tune Up..

I hope this post is helpful.
