I just downloaded a file and when I clicked on the downloads folder in my dock, I noticed a handful of .exe files with weird names sitting there. Names such as +6roUtlx.exe and HkPqPlib.exe. However when I open the folder in finder they aren't there. I thought maybe they were hidden so I tried to click on them straight from the doc (figuring even an evil .exe file can't hurt me on a Mac) and it did nothing.
Anyway, I removed the folder from my dock and added it back in, and the files were gone, so I'm assuming they weren't really there in the first place. I'm just wondering what the cause might have been and if anyone else has ever experienced this. All I have downloaded today is two free open source programs.
