as gronostaj told, its not supported. But AFAIK the information is stored in an alternate datastream. So doing this will discard all alternate datastreams: "type MyFile.exe > MyFileWithoutADS.exe". – marsh-wiggle – 2014-11-27T14:15:59.673

Microsoft's article on Unblock-File states that:

This cmdlet is introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.

PowerShell 3.0 is not available for Vista, so you're out of luck.
