Google’s integration of malware and phishing protection in Chrome made us extra confident while visiting unknown websites or downloading executable files. This works as an extra layer between the web and our security solution software. However, there are some “false positives” where Chrome may consider a file or website as host of virus/malware or scam – though it’s not. Or you are downloading a virus intentionally. In these situations, Chrome malware protection poses trouble to accessing some files or links. For such situation, you need to disable the malware protection feature of Chrome.
Depending on the malware, link and environment, Chrome malware warning message may differ. Here’s how to turn it off:
