A .zip bomb is designed to take a really long time to uncompress, either by containing a lot of compressed data or endlessly copying itself. The idea is for the bomb to either take up all of the computer’s processing power or to sneak in dirty files during uncompression, and both routes allow computer viruses to infect your computer.
