Chrome gives a false malware warning downloading Drive Tech Demo

I just wanted to point out to people who have gotten the Drive Tech Demo that Chrome gave me a false malware warning for the program. I do not know why but it did. I just right-clicked it and keep the file.

 

Same thing happened to me, not sure why it gave that warning. AVG didn't point it out.

 

It isn't a malware warning per se, it's just a warning telling you to be careful and that the file might be risky, caused by the fact that it's an executable, and it hasn't been downloaded enough yet to make it into Chrome's database of known and trusted exectuables.

 

Chrome does this to almost everything that doesn't have an absurdly high # of downloads or hasn't existed for at least a month, and doesn't tell you when it has blocked a file. This is one of the myriad reasons I find Chrome an inferior browser and use IE or Firefox instead.
EDIT@ABOVE I've had it do it with many other filetypes than that including every archive format known to man, as well as anything with a weird extension. (MCEdit .schematic, KSP .craft, and SR:TT .xtbl files to name a few.)

[RANT](Yes, I prefer IE over Chrome, at least IE doesn't result in every system I use it on getting rekt because it gives websites access to Permissions, allowing popups to create Windows dialogs which cannot be terminated besides a system restart, among other devious/nasty things. Not to mention it seems to be a giant BSoD factory and is only fast because Google cut corners everywhere they could, resulting in at least a few things not working right and less features than other browsers.)[/RANT]

 

Scanned the tech demo for y'all. It's perfectly fine, it's just chrome having a hissy fit.

 

All I had to do was open the contextual menu for the download and click "Keep" when it finished. It was right there in the downloads bar, with a big red warning sign. Chrome doesn't block or delete files you've downloaded without your permission (at least it never has for me).
