On my Windows 7 machine, I run Firefox, version 115.37.0esr (64-bit), as my default browser. Almost all of the time, then I click on a link to download a .exe file, I get two copies of the file on the default download folder: file.exe and file(1).exe. The size of the first is 0 bytes and the size of the second is the file's proper size.
An annoyance, but not the end of the world. However, there are times when I try to delete file.exe that it immediately reappears. That just happened today and when I right-clicked on it to see security details (like the file's owner), I was informed that I do not have the necessary privilege to see that info. This is weird - any idea as to why it is happening?
Note that after a few minutes, file.exe just disappears.
