Hey, today I was downloading some important files. While downloading one of them, the downloading process stopped automatically in Google Chrome. There it was written that “This file is Dangerous Chrome has blocked it”. I have fixed it and I have downloaded the file, which was blocked by Chrome while downloading. So I want to tell you that how I did it successfully.

First of all you need to know why did it happen? Whenever you download any file, you do not know whether that file is good for your computer or bad. But files that can prove to be fatal to your computer’s security, Chrome prevents such files from entering your computer. Google Chrome and other browsers recognize files that are harmful to your computer. Most of browsers, the file is an unknown file or is being downloaded from an unknown source, it proves to be directly harmful. For this reason, Chrome blocks the download process. Let see how you can rid of this issue as below –

Step 4 – It will open a new pop-up window, click on the Turn off button there.

By doing this you will definitely get rid of this issue and I hope you will download your file successfully.

Now go back to the Google Chrome and download the file again. You will see the file has been downloaded successfully.

Note – After your file is downloaded, all settings need to be done as they were. As you have chosen the option of No protection in Chrome, you will have to do standard protection.
