This facility does help to protect you from the sick people of this world, and they must be sick to do what they do.

It enables you to see what the sick people are trying to download onto you PC

Depending on how your Windows computer is setup, file extensions may be hidden.

Instead of seeing files containing a period ( Full stop ) and 1‐4 character extensions, all you see are the filenames without the extensions.

Or, some files may have extensions, but not all of them.

For safety reasons, and to learn more about file formats, you should configure

Windows to show all file extensions.

Although the instructions for showing file formats differ depending on the version of Windows you are running, they are generally the following:

1. Open any folder on your machine.

2. Choose ʺToolsʺ ‐ ʺFolder Optionsʺ.

3. Click the ʺViewʺ tab. 4. Uncheck ʺHide extensions for known typesʺ.

That’s it now you have more command over your PC and able to view what is happening.
