The following file extensions are only executable if you happen to have the software installed that carries out the commands contained in the file.

If you know of more executable file formats, or believe one deserves a change in risk level, please let me know so we can discuss it. Note: This is not a complete list of executable file extensions, nor is it a list of dangerous but non-executable file types. Important: Please exercise caution before opening any executable file, especially those received in suspicious emails or downloaded from unfamiliar websites. Those operations could be damaging if, for example, you were to run a virus-infected executable file that you received via email from someone you don’t know. Those additional operations would be welcome and necessary if, for example, you were to run a program setup for a free software program you just downloaded from a trusted website. In other words, if you open a file with one of these file extensions, your computer could, without your continued permission, run one or more operations programmed into that file. This is in contrast to other file formats that simply display data, play a sound or video, etc. An Incomplete List of Executable File ExtensionsĪ file with an executable file extension means that the file format supports some ability to run an automatic task.
