Access is denied for some particular file types using Java on Windows 7

I have tried the followings for .txt, .sql, .java with success BUT I can't write file with the extension with .pdf, .jpg, .zip.

File file = new File("d:/myFolder/something.txt");
File file = new File("d:/myFolder/something.sql");
File file = new File("d:/myFolder/something.java");

// Executed Successfully for the above 3 but java.io.FileNotFoundException (Access is denied) show for these files below.
File file = new File("d:/myFolder/something.jpg");
File file = new File("d:/myFolder/something.pdf");
File file = new File("d:/myFolder/something.zip");

try {
  FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
  fos.write(mpf.getBytes());
  fos.close();
  fos.flush();
} catch (Exception e) {
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

Perhaps there is an unusual antivirus or similar security product running on your Windows?

If so, either disable the antivirus or configure it to permit these filetypes.

So long as it is enabled, it is actually doing exactly what it is supposed to do by blocking these file-writes.
