can't execute .exe files

[painbird]

I have had this problem before. I can't open exe files (well sone I can) but it seems like a virus. Probably one of those nasty trojan ones. I have run both AVG-7 and Norton Anti-Virus - but niether willl pick it up. In the past I have downloaded fixes but it has been a while. Any advice?

change the file extension to .com and see if it runs.
