This is a Chrome browser issue, here is 2 solutions:

1 - Keep in mind this fix is a bit dangerous, because it turns off all protection from dangerous site.


1. Open Chrome and click the three-dot menu at the top right of the window.

2. In the drop-down menu, choose "Settings."

3. On the Settings page, in the You and Google section, click "Privacy and security."

4. In the Privacy and Security section of the main page, click "Security."

5. In the Safe Browsing section, click "No protection (not recommended)" to turn the feature off.

6. Click "Turn off" in the pop-up to confirm you want to do this.

7. Download the file that was blocked.


2 - You can also first try this, for each file you download:
Hit CTRL+J and per downloaded file now you can indicate if you want to keep it anyway (or not..). Its just a workaround, but its at least more safe than turning off protection.

Good luck!

THIS  is not the solution,
Google classifies PinDIY as malware sender.
PinDIY has to be added on the whitelist in Google,
and PinDY has to negotiate that with Google.

I have problems when trying to download or a file from iBooks. In iBooks I find that when I click to download nothing happens, no download. I switch to a different browser like edge and the download works. I am also getting a lot of errors saying downloading from this site can damage your computer and that proceeding will damage your computer. With most downloads being paid threads now thats a lot of lost coin since you dont get this error until both member and site have been paid. Again this doesnt happen in edge.

It only happens with iBooks I get the occasional error that it will do harm to my machine. I use edge and no error or problem. I then scan to make sure there is no malware or viruses tagging along.  Post time 2020-12-2 23:55

Thanks a lot ! When I get the block saying that the download is not safe, I give it to download and I download without problems. Another option is to open the link in another window and if it doesnt work I do it with the Firefox browser

Only for PinDIY I use Microsoft Edge as browser.
It was on my computer anyway... No problems at all anymore.
