well the zip is probably corrupted, download it again.
if not I can probably give your a dropbox folder of the extracted files.
the exe file is not a virus though.
its just a bgt executable.
its most likely the zip is corrupted.
though on a system I was servicing, I had to uninstall several
programs, avast, norton and a few other things and then repair some
windows system files t to get access to everything.

It might be avast, but I highly doubt it
