Full story: (there's a shorter version at the end of the post)
I was installing drivers on two laptops this week for my friends (both were HP) and sometimes when I clicked on download it downloaded (edit: offered me to download actually) a "setup.exe" insted of the driver. The first time it did I actually didn't see it wasn't the driver and ran it, but it didn't do anything (as much as I know), so I kinda ignored it. Now I was downloading Audacity from their official website and I was also offered to download the same "setup.exe" (It always has around 250kB.) so I am getting suspicious that my PC got infected by a virus. Also, when I click cancel and try to download for the second time, it always gave me the right file. Did anyone get anything similar in the past?
TL;DR:
Sometimes when I try to download official, original stuff (HP drivers, Audacity - sites where it happened in the last few days) it offers me to download a "setup.exe". I click cancel and the next time I get offered to download the thing I was actually trying to download. E: Could my PC have a virus?
