An executable file is a stand-alone binary file, in windows the most common executable files are followed by the extension .exe. A corrupted executable file is a one of these stand-alone binaries that either has missing data or data formatted in such away that it cannot be interpreted by the computer. Most of the time these occur because of half downloads or missing data, but in rare occasions it can be caused by third party harmful applications that modify the binary data making it unreadable.
