Internet Explorer and Edge renames downloaded CRT files

some creepy stuff is going on today while I was prepping for the configuration of a VPN connection.

I noticed that .CRT files were renamed by Internet Explorer (11) and Edge when downloaded. (WTF?)

I am guessing this has to do with the protection filter but I dont know for sure. If anyone knows the answer please share 🙂

The rename ghost isn’t haunting Google Chrome though.

btw, the original file is completely usable when you rename the extension back again.
