Well you may want to check into this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=725205.new#new

Apparently, the Zipcoin wallet had for a while some sort of backdoor trojan or keylogger or something attached to it, and you mentioned Zipcoin, so there.

Yuck, another malicious altcoin wallet that is built to steal bitcoin. Sad
People wanting the download altcoin wallets should really check the source and compile from source themselves.

most people dont have the skills or the time to check source code, let alone fully check it.

Better to just have a "crap machine" where nothing critical is on and you can reinstall the OS frequently.
