    .Zip files automatically deleting themselves.


    I was downloading a game in .zip files (Balls? by dani). And the files would half the time say "failed Download Error" and the other would finish. About 2 seconds after it finishes it automatically deletes itself. No trace at all. I don't know what details to add to make the question easier so please, ask.

    Is it possible that you antivirus software is deleting them or quarantining them? You might want to check your AV logs to see if that is the case.
