Because odds are such files are malware. The common solution is to put it into an arcgive (zip or such) and upload that. |

You'll need winRar or winZip. They'll probably automatically add themselves to the list of options when you right click on a file. Right click your file and make your archive (the specific option that you click on is different for winZip and winRar. It should be easy, though). |

it works but the problem is it shows the code for all of it and the whole point of making into a zip was not to let the user see the code. |

So don't add the code, add the exe. |

i can't because when i just add the exe. file it doesn't let me. it only lets me if i add it with the code. |

Then you're doing something wrong... WinZip does not care at ALL what it is you zip. Just right-click on the .exe file, and (my Windows memory is a bit blurry) hit "Make .ZIP Archive" or something along those lines. |
