Try unzipping files with 7-Zip.
Download it from here: http://www.7-zip.org/
Install it and right click on the file you want to unzip. Then go to 7-Zip and choose Extract Files.

Where do you get them from?I regularly use trainers for my games
If a file has the extension .exe then just double click the file. You can't extract it.the trainer.exe file

i use 7-zip and have for a couple years now, mainly for mods. The trainers I have downloaded have the .exe and a .txt or .nfo file packed with them in either a .zip or .rar file. I usually get them from either Megagames.com or Mofunzone.com. usually the latter though.

Try unlocking the .zip archive before unzipping it using Unlocker: http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/
Or Lockhunter: http://lockhunter.com/

both are saying there are no blocks on the files I've selected. However, it still blocks when i try to extract it.

I downloaded a Sims 2 trainer from Megagames and it unzipped fine.
Try using this file archiver: http://www.izarc.org/

What is the exact message, you're getting?
It looks like a message from some security program.

the exact message that pops up is part of the windows extraction wizard. it says "to help protect your computaer, some files were blocked."

Are you saving the files first before opening them?
This is a stupid permissions issue. If you are running Windows Defender, this will happen sometimes.

yea i save them before opening, kind of a habit. roommate trashed my old system with limewire. i HATE limwire, never wanna use it. havent tried the permissions thing yet. doing it now and we'll see what happens.

i tried the changing the persmissions. i did exactly what it said and i actually cant view the security tab for the .zip file. i checked the folder options and use simple sharing is on, nvm turned it off and can view the tab now, but i still dont understand how to grant special permissions.

Can you upload any of those zipped files, you can't unzip?
Also, did you try 3rd party zip program, like 7-zip: http://www.7-zip.org/

Unzipped here fine.
Are you getting very same error, when using 7-zip?
