It's also not difficult to end up on RBLs, a complaint, a signing
issue, some AV reporting what we know to be false positives that
requires people to flag those publishers with reports that the
resource is in fact legitimate does help in getting things removed
from these lists - as was previously recommended by Stefan and Jeff.

Although perhaps not on-topic, strictly speaking is the notion that
you may wish to consider ditching Chrome for Chromium or Brave or
Vivaldi if you like Chromium based browsers, or try it with Firefox.

I have issues from time to time under Windows, when attempting d/l's
from some sites that subscribe to the methods of signing that
Microsoft likes, instead of the preferred Universal methods that are
standard and used in the UNIX world.

In such cases, say, when you  d/l something and then as soon as you
attempt to launch the installer find that it gets whacked and
deleted/quarantined when you do, another option is to manually
whitelist  it in the offensive and overly zealous AV app or OS. I like
to pick directories and mark them as whitelisted or excluded and put
things there that the system tries to eradicate.
