Find software to open an unknown file with OpenWith.org

The other day someone mentioned to me that they didn't know what to do with the '.air' file they'd downloaded from the Internet. They were fairly clued up, too. Thinking it must be an archive format, they spent time trying find an archive management tool to open the file. If you find an unknown file extension on your computer, you could quickly run a Google search, view the results and then download a recommended application. However, would you really know what you're downloading? You can't trust every site presented through the search results.

OpenWith.org Desktop Tool 1.0.1 is software you can install on your PC and use to find a legitimate recommendation for unknown file extensions. Simply highlight a file which isn't associated with an application, go to your right-mouse button menu and select the option to check with OpenWith.org. This will check the OpenWith.org website and look at the recommended software for the file extension. However, some of the software it recommends isn't always free, even though it states it is free.
