Yes! If its zipped then it could have a virus in it. You can check by doing a simple virus-scan, with Norton, Aol Anti Virus, etc.

You can get viruses from files downloaded through BitTorrent just as easily as you can get them from files downloaded any other way. You should be using a good antivirus program, or for better protection, not using Windows at all.
