Can someone recommend a free program to unzip FLAC files with? Something that I can download and where I won't expose my computer to spy/malware or other nasty viruses/surprises. Thanks :D

    No matter what, you should scan zip/compressed folders before you open them.

    Keeping your computer free of virus/malware doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the application you use to unzip/uncompress the folder. It has to do with whether or not you have an up-to-date anti-virus/anti-malware application on your computer in addition to the application you will use to decompress.

    Bottome line: run the anti-virus/anti-malware program on the folder before you unzip it.

    Microsoft Security Essentials is free from MS and rather good.

    If you're on a Mac you can try ClamX AV. Try sourceforge.net

    Not sure about Linux but sourceforge probably has something, or check Cnet.
