cant do anything with a file

[Kev]

A BIN file is an archive file that a program uses to store
files and information. The only way to open it is with the
original program. Try to turn off and back on your
computer and then delete it. Also if you dont know the
person who sent it to you it could be dangerous to keep it
around.
