malwarebytes found exe.part file in temp folder

[mangaman]

So malwarebytes scanned my drive, but found an exe.part file in the temp folder of firefox. I quickly deleted it and did another scan with malwarebytes, avast and hitman pro. Nothing else came up. What is an exe.part file, and should I be concerned that malwarebytes found it? My system is running fine, and I'm having no problems.

An exe.part file would be a file that was being downloaded and was interrupted and not cleaned up. It might have been bad or maybe not. No way to know.

So nothing to worry about, since the exe was interrupted and did not execute correct? I did a deep scan this time and nothing came up.

Correct. I wouldn't worry about it.
