Download of .EXE files

I can download it quite normally, the whole file and I am using Mac OS X 10.6.4 and Safari 5.x.y..

How did you transfer the file to Windows? Because Windows shows two files normally, one with a dot before the file name (the small file, resource fork) and the normally named file with its original size.
 
Say what!!

When i'm click'ing and downloading on OSX 10.6.4 and Safari 5.0.2, it goes like this:

I drag'n drop the file to the CD-burner with Finder and burn a CD.
I only see one file on my system after DL.

There should never be a problem downloading .exe files--in fact--some can be used with OS-X--for example those that are actually compressed files can be opened with Stuffit.
 
Unbelievable!!!!

Norton AntiVirus was the cause.

I uninstalled Norton an everything is working perfectly.

Thanks for the help.

No need for AV software for Mac OS X, as there are no viruses for Mac OS X, unless you wanted to use Norton to scan your system for Windows malware. Btw, Norton is often considered some kind of "malware" itself, as it really frells with your system.
