Question Has any1 else noticed this?

I was d/l a software file (XXXXXXX) and i noticed two files that downloaded themselves; i have searched my PC, yet I still haven't located either of them; The size of the files were both 0.0KB, so I don't think they were viruses...Is this normal when downloading remix software, or should I be worried? Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanx in advance

In general, it is pretty risky to download .exe, .zip., or .rar files from the network, since they contain viruses, spyware and/or trojans in 999/1000 cases.
And if files start downloading themselves without being clicked to do so, then it's about time to run any possible Antivirus, Antispyware/Maleware test possible to see whether there is an infection.....
