what it means when something has a. EXE after him?

for the security of my computer, I have MCAFEE TOTAL PROTECTION 2012.    in all programs, I have MCAFEE SECURITY SCAN PLUS and it has a drop-down list with a MCUICNT. EXE in it.

I have all the programs, MICROSOFT OFFICE TOOLS.   in the menu dropdown I WINWORD. EXE and I also PPTVIEW. EXE in it.

Hello jamessaindon,

EXE, it is executable. For example, WinWord.Exe is the main application for Microsoft Word, click on it and Microsoft Word opens. PPTView.exe is the executable for the PowerPoint Viewer. MCUICNT. Exe is the user interface of Mcafee container.

Anything with a. Exe extension means that it can be run as an application. You can get more details here: http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/e/execfile.htm
