    Error trying to open files. Says my internet security settings has blocked one or more... ThesefilesCannotbeopened_zpsf520b7b3.jpg


    Windows 7 64 bit
    ESet Security



    I cannot open or run almost any downloaded software.

    I have worked on this issues for weeks, now I have to ask.

    Not able to open programs from intel and others, this issue started out as a slight problem if I run under compatibility,now compatible is doesn't work.

    I am trying to run CPU-Z its in my internet safe zone, it is in my Fire Wall exception, I am running Eset Security I have disabled all the security programs a downloads. I have even seen this when I click on a link from my side bar. But today I can click on the links and they open. I am trying to get it as a torrent file to see if I can run it thought that download, don't know yet.

    When I used windows to check why I can't load the program it always replies that it not compatible. Even files I have downloaded a few months ago which ran, give me the same error notice. I can down load CPU-z as a torrent and it will run fine.

    can't run install file ' these files can't be opened'


    Or this might work:

    To reset Internet Explorer security zone settings to their default level, follow these steps:
    • Start Internet Explorer.
    • Click Tools, and then click Internet options.
    • Click the Security tab.
    • Click Reset all zones to default level, and then click OK.
