My friend has got a problem with his pc, his AV recognizes it as a zip bomb.

How can he stop a zip bomb? His AV can't delete it, and the task manager doesn't show any extremities.

If you don't know what a zip bomb is, here's the wiki article:

Yeah, target it in safemode. It won't execute at startup that way, allowing you to delete it. Its only a simple concept, so it shouldn't be hard to root out. Check your startup registry keys (or start-> run -> msconfig, startup tab; a little easier that way), and find out where it is. Kill the entry and delete the file(s). Done.
