Hello! Essentially, I am running Windows XP SP3. I had the misfortune of experiencing some problems with my Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 software where it just stopped and would no longer work. I called the maker and was advised to remove the current copy and did but it would not delete all of the items in the program. I tried as best I could and got most of them out. However, shortly thereafter I started experiencing a problem with File Extensions, specifically when I downloaded software programs. Before this happened they would all download correctly with the .exe file that I could just click on and it would immediately open up the program. Now however, when I try to download software all that downloads is: setup.exe.part -or- exe.part But the other problem is that it now asks 'What Program do you want to use to open this file with' which it did not do before. When I use the button for the options, a program to actually open such files as the ones mentioned above does not appear to exist. I guess I need a RAR software utility to open these files now but even if I download one it will also appear as "exe.part" or something similar and again clicking on it will only bring up the 'what program do you want to use to open this file' so I am not able to use that downloaded file to open up the program. Buying a utility from a software store to open the programs would cost about $40.00 which I would rather not spend if there is a work-around solution to just downloading a free program from the web. Does anyone have any idea(s) as to how I could rectify this concern to get it going as before? Thank you for your help in this matter!
