I've never had this problem before but I downloaded WINrar 390, And It will not open!
It comes up with an error message 'C:\Users\(My Name)\Downloads\wrar390.exe - The Directory name is invalid' :confused:
Now, It seems I can't open ANY .exe files! It's really annoying me, Could someone PLEASE help me!? :(

(I'm using Windows Vista Home premium!)

Run a malwarebytes scan and if anything comes up, run a superantispyware scan. Do you have any download managers installed? Can you download to desktop and try again?

If you can't open downloaded files it may be caused by both infection and 3p security software -here Kaspersky Internet Security.If you nothing wrong find uninstall completely KIS :)
Here you have Kaspersky Removal Tool to do perfectly http://support.kaspersky.com/kis2010/service?qid=208279463

Check the setting of Kaspersky first - usually something to do with scanning downloaded files. What browser are you using?
