    For the past few weeks, I've had this issue while using Google. While doing a Google Search, occasionally I will get this popup:

    See the attached pic.

    Saving the file does nothing and I have no program to open it.

    It's been rather annoying and happens every few minutes if I'm on google for a while. I got so sick of it that I decided to switch from Firefox to Chrome. But I'm getting the same issues on chrome too.

    What could be causing this problem? The only extensions I installed on chrome are AdBlock Plus, FastestChrome, and LastPass. I also had these on Firefox too.

    Any advice?

    Thanks!
