Google Chrome network error question?

Okay so I downloaded something, it was a .pif file, it just started to download out of nowhere. Seeing that file extension made me believe it was a virus of some sort since it was a link from omegle, but during the download I saw that chrome said "network error" next to the download. 

Did the download go through? Is it on my computer? I'm running a system scan and nothing is being detected but I did some research and found that .pif files don't show on windows or something so I just cant find it and delete it and there was nothing in my downloads folder. I didn't see the name of the file either.

That Pif file was not downloaded successfully, because the network error in the midway, so that was not a virus or trojan file, nothing to get worry.

But some websites are saying that "Invalid file associations could be the result of underlying issues within your Windows PC" so delete that file as soon as possible it reverts the programmes into older versions.

Better have good security software to scan all these things whenever required. If a antivirus is present in your system after downloading the file will get automatically scanned by the computer and where if it is a infected file and we cant access the file and it will be blocked by the antivirus.

but whenever you downloaded any file particularly exe better scan with antivirus and then access or execute it. Mainly virus approaches PC in form of exe files only.

How can I get rid of these virus ~DFSC6.tmp?

One thing you need to know that that is not a virus, that is a Temp File in which the system runs it's process in a folder called "Temp" which means temporary memory. After completion of the task it removes the file. Some how these types of file are also infected with viruses but in rare cases only.

For example if you are installing a programme called C cleaner  If you download this software a .EXE format which means executable, all the files required to run this programme are emerged in executable file. When you double click on that system executes the programme, which ever programmed. Follow the onscreen instructions in which to install the programme and use it.

These temp are large in number, if you install a software or run a programme these Temp files are automatically created in the system temp folder, some may be deleted buy some are not deleted and If these types of files are large in number you need to delete them manually. But you need to know where the folders are located. So many third party softwares are available on net, you can use them to delete temp files.

But in my point of view best software is Ccleaner, which I was using it since 5 years. Awesome performance, easy to clean the entire system, you can customize the data which should be cleaned, Two tabs were given "System Applications", "Internet Applications" and you can fix registry errors with Ccleaner, Take a Backup of registry also.

Ccleaner provides add/remove programmes list aswell. If you want to uninstall any programme you can uninstall them from here. You can check and edit which programmes are running on startup, scheduled taks, Browsers plugins....etc.
