It didn't happen to me, but I know why this happened to you. The log file name is the same as your domain. And I'm guessing you have a .com domain which as we all know is also an executable extension name in MS OSs. So when you tried to open it, the OS thought this was an executable and tried to run it. But in fact the log file is a simple text file, so in order for you to view it directly, you need to rename it to .txt or simply open it with a text viewer like Word or Notepad.
