What is a .VEXE file?
A .VEXE file is a type of computer file that is actually an executable file, which means it's a file that can run a program or a set of instructions on your computer. However, the important thing to know about .VEXE files is that they contain a virus. The name ".vexe" comes from adding a "v" at the beginning of the usual ".exe" extension, with the "v" standing for "virus." This renaming to ".vexe" might have been done by a person on purpose or automatically by an antivirus program that detected the virus.
These .VEXE files can end up on a computer in several ways, but they often come from downloading harmful software or malware from the internet, which means the computer is infected.
Because .VEXE files are dangerous, you shouldn't try to open them like you would with normal files. Instead, the only type of program that should open a .VEXE file is an antivirus program. Antivirus programs are special software designed to find and remove viruses and other harmful software from your computer. If you find a .VEXE file on your computer, you should use an antivirus program to scan and deal with the file safely. This will help protect your computer from the harmful effects of the virus contained in the .VEXE file.
