The file association for .exe was changed. msseces.exe is Microsoft (ms) Security (sec) Essentials (es). Assuming you're using Win7, do this.

Download [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Right-click the downloaded file and click "Merge"

Allow if prompted by UAC

Restart or log off and on
