LW won't open it. You have to open the file outside of LW. Easiest way to do that is to go to the LW Library, click on the file you want, then click the explore button. The folder will open up and you can run it from there. Be sure to scan it before you open it.

Was it LW or your antivirus software that was giving you this message? Executable files (.exe) are fairly dangerous to download...they very frequently contain viruses. If you want to download programs, I suggest you go for files with the .rar extension. You can scan them for viruses before you actually use them. Winrar, which is necessary to open these files, is shareware.

Good Luck
