Post subject: | Google Chrome Has The xwidget Setup File Marked as Malicious |
When I tried to download and update to the latest version of xwidget, Google Chrome refused to download it as it, for some reason, is marked as a malicious file and it's being blocked. There is no explanation as to why or how it got this way, but it's upsetting. I really like using the software so far. |

XWidget is 100% clean and virus free: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2 I think that the problem starts from your antivirus as a false alarm, not from the Chrome.. Have you tried to dl it using Firefox or Explorer? |

Sir, I'm quite sure it's Google Chrome that had it blocked and it has nothing to do with my antivirus. I know this because Chrome said it was the one that blocked it and gave me this page as a reference: https://support.google.com/chrome/answe ... ocked&rd=1 The reason I reported it here AND via the support email link is because I wanted to give the author(s) a chance to refute the claim before it becomes an issue. As a code slinger myself, I would be quite pissed to find out that somebody had marked my code as malicious when it wasn't and I would appreciate it if someone alerted me to this fact. Chrome, after all, is quite a popular browser. The good news is it's been fixed though and Chrome is now downloading it without issue. ![]() |
