This is a normal GZIP compressed file header

in the following code, we can see how easy it is to change the path
to anywhere we want, including the all users start up folder.
I just overwrited the original long file name to /../../sp5.exe

All we need to do is GZIP compress (using winace)
a file with a long name/path and change the path specified inside the file
to whatever we want Using any Hex editor such as HexWorkshop, just add
anything to the filename.
