Mac Users and .exe Files


I'm amazed how many macs I work on have ".exe" files floating around on the computers.
Mac users, don't download any files from the internet that end ".exe". These are PC Windows files and can not do anything with them. Often times a website will assume you're using a PC and a not a mac, so you'll see a "download now" button.
When you download you'll see a "Downloads" window appear on your desktop. If you see the downloading file ends with ".exe".  Click the stop downloading button next to the file, you'll see an "X". Stop the download, you're wasting your time.
