I use a file called file_renamer (freeware) to change my exe to zip and then back again.
I use the search in Windows to search for exe in folders and then select the ones that have the dos icon and then send them to the file_renamer change the exe to zip then (I have Dr. Web running) go to dr. Web and select the folders and run it. After it cures things I go back to file_renamer and change everything back to a exe.
I do keep Dr. Web and file_renamer running at the same time (until I am finished)
You have to set file_renamer up (through options) to work with Windows explorer
Good Luck
