Can av sw remove virus from zipped file

[sms_solver]

I know that av sw like Norton AV, AVG can detect
virus and suspicious files from zipped file.

How they can detect these from zipped file? I also like to know if they are remove the infected files from such zipped file.

and about password protected zipped file.

Can anybody give his/her idea?

There was some spelling mistakes and obmission
it should be like this:



I know that av sw like Norton AV, AVG can detect
virus and suspicious files from compressed zipped file.

How they detect infected files from zipped file? Also I like to know if they can remove the infected files from such zipped file.

and what about password protected zipped file. I guess these AV will not be able to delete infected files.

Can anybody give his/her idea?
