Download the free version of a program by the name of sandboxie and run your bowser in it.

Anything a malware program installed will be wipe out as soon as you shut down the sandbox as it never get to install on your machine only in the sandbox.

Bill-

While I, too, think Sandboxie is an excellent program it won't necessarily protect people against this kind of attack.

No, the zip file won't be there after you quit browsing, but it could very well accomplish enough to swipe your Facebook data --especially if you're already logged in to Facebook in your sandboxed browsing session.
