I'm glad it did the trick. And that's a VERY good question... Those files shouldn't be there, and it suggests that the files were downloaded/transferred over a network, then packaged into the zip. Why? (I don't know any other function that creates these, as I've only ever seen them when downloading on a Windows machine. They're not valid filenames (to Windows), which is an additional annoyance.)
What I don't like about the look of it is that it has that kind of feel of a "man in the middle" type of attack. Not that this occurred, but it makes me a little uncomfortable. (Enough that I snapshotted my Vbox VM to test it on, so that I can destroy it afterward.)
