Downloading problems

[Furry Fred]

I have a problem when downloading.

If I try to download an .exe file I am being told I am downloading a
..fpx file instead. I download it and comes as an .fpx file (a friend
has tried to download the same files and it came as a .exe file as it
should. [ ie I try to download myfile.exe and get myfile.fpx]

It has only recently started to do this and so I think I have a problem
with my setup.

How can I get the correct extension on my downloaded files?

Thanks in anticipation

Right click and rename from .fpx to .exe. However, you should scan the file
with an AntiVirus scanner first.

Thanks, that's what I have been doing, but how can I stop this
happening?
