In the last few weeks I noticed that when I try to download a game patch from Fileshack and some other files from other sites that upon download the patch is no longer an .exe but says it can't be opened, do i want to search for a program to open it?
When I do Windows says it's a MIME file.
I have Avast Virus on and ran thorough scans = now virus.
Any Ideas.
Thank You
actually before downloading the window says "unknown file type. Do you want to save or find program online to open it
 
Thanks for your help GushpinBob.
I tried that exefix.reg but to no avail.
I'm trying things but no luck so far.
 
I had this same problem. Right-click the file, select properties and in the file name window, add .exe to the file name and click ok, then open it.
