Why is Google Chrome accused of phishing and malware?

Question

Google Chrome

What to do if Chrome says "We do not recommend downloading the file as it may be dangerous"?

In the browser help, the following information is - "Thanks to the Safe Browsing technology, Google Chrome warns you if you try to access a site that is suspected of phishing or distributing malware."

The message is issued when loading cloudlet.su/cloudlet.zip - this is the distribution kit of the client part of the service I am developing. Other browsers do not write anything like this. I don't do phishing or malware. How to explain this to chrome? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It doesn't give me anything. Latest chrome on mac.

Answer 2

Nothing is shown either. Ubuntu, latest chrome, security enabled.

Answer 3

Googled a little. It seems that chrome does not like the fact that there is an executable in the archive. Those. it turns out that it rejects all archives containing an executable file, considering them dangerous.
There is no such solution anywhere. They only recommend adding the site to the Google Webmaster tool and waiting for Google to scan the file and make sure that it is not malicious ... I
also found about some solution related to Content-type: tinyurl.com/cs6vnmh
And here: tinyurl.com/cclu2o6 they recommend editing .htaccess.

Answer 4

Here they offer files in rar or 7z to pack so that chrome does not swear.
