Whenevery i download anything that needs extracting, this comes up

Archive:  /home/brad/Downloads/SpamIt_v8.exe
[/home/brad/Downloads/SpamIt_v8.exe]
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
zipinfo:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/brad/Downloads/SpamIt_v8.exe or
          /home/brad/Downloads/SpamIt_v8.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/brad/Downloads/SpamIt_v8.exe.ZIP, period.

I am using Ubuntu and extracting via Archive Manager

Maybe it's the direction of the slashes, or the folders themselves. The slashes should always be backwards, so '\' and not '/'. Also, make sure you have a /home/ folder.

Just out of curiosity...what are you trying to install? Why are you using an exe? Is there no linux compatible version? I'm not saying exe cant run but why make your life harder.
