After running the adware cleaner this morning, it came back identifying WinZip programs folders as a malware.

Could that be false identification?

Hello,

Seems strange, but we'll need to have a look to the logfile to confirm that it's indeed AdwCleaner the cause of your issue, but it's very unlikely.
