OK.
I will provide both versions ( zip and exe)

The problem is that I know what I do.
I turn a zip file into an exe file and that's all. The exe addition is only a
winzip utility added to the zip file.
Most of the virus software are able to detect a virus in such a file, that can
be also unzipped itself using winzip
