Comment:

 It's a antivirus (Windows design) issue. As long GRASS uses x.yy.zzz
 naming scheme and Windows requires special extension (.exe .bat .com) to
 execute program, this  issue can not be solved. Contact Your antivirus
 software author to exclude GRASS from double extension check or add GRASS
 files to that exclusion list manually.

 Closing as invalid (not a GRASS bug).
