I have now spent 2 full weeks trying to make a paper wallet & I'm not much further on than I was on day 1. If I don't make progress today, I'm gonna sell my bitcoin (at a susbstantial loss) & forget about them, rather than leaving them on my computer for somebody to hack. I have tried without success to get bitaddress.org to work offline, so today I am trying brainwallet.org & bitcoinpaperwallet.com, but so far I'm encountering the same problem. When I download bitcoinpaperwallet.com, I am told to extract the ZIP file. How do I do that? Yesterday I tried using 77zip but Kaspersky told me it would cause harm to my PC.

If you're unable to do this. How about encrypting the wallet.dat file using true-crypt? better than nothing.
