BYOK is flying high
Default (mac user) unzipped files convert to .exe files?

ok, i'm a temporary newbie and since i'm using a mac and files are unzipping to an .exe file...i obviously can't open these files.

What should i do with these files, convert them to something else? I apologize for not knowing this? i tried a search but probably with the wrong terms.

i'm even downloading files that specifically work on a mac but since they're opening into these .exe files, i don't know how to use them.

thanks!

stief has a spectacular aura about

exe's are for PC's, and are probably viruses for the Window's people.

They won't hurt your machine since you're on a mac. Just trash them and see try to avoid files like them in the future
