When I click on any website on Google, it automatically downloads a file

[thxforhelp]

When I click on any website on Google, it automatically downloads a file of 17 B in size which called "download". After second or third click i can enter the website. I don't remember encountering anything like this before installing Kaspersky. When I scan the my pc, it doesn't find any viruses. What's this? and how can i fix it?
