You'll have to give a bit more information. What version of Linux are you using? What's the full name (especially the extension) of the file you've downloaded?

Also, do you have to kill innocent civilians for the crime of being in the wrong place at the wrong time?

It's probaly a script. I don't know what desktop environment you are using so I will tell you how to run it from the command line.

open a terminal and change to your download directory

Code:

cd <download dir>
then run it

Code:

./<file to run>
