2) Firewalls don't prevent the installation of trojans anyway; they merely block their incoming/outgoing messages.

1) Putting it in a Zip means that the Firewall only detects the overlayer (The zip) and not the inside. So therefore when unzipped, the firewall doesn't check it untill ran.
2) The Firewalls I used to have would block anything illigal trying to run on the computer.
