globalist Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 So apparently I am confused regarding the available Flric downloads. First off: https://flirc.tv/downloads has the "Latest Release Flirc Setup.exe [v3.22.4]" which downloads as Flirc.exe Then we have this page: https://flirc.tv/support/flirc-usb "Flirc Installer [v3.25.3]" which downloads as Flirc-Setup-3.25.3.exe Which download should I use? And why are both flagged as dangerous and blocked by Chrome? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spislander Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 I was running into the same issue. Worked around it by using MSEdge (gag) to download the installer. This is 100% a Chrome issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 I'm getting the flirc-setup-3.25.3.exe blocked by both chrome and Windows atm... Obviously concerning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Flirc any fix for this I cannot download from your site. You need to write off to google to get it unlocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baj1 Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Firefox blocks it too. I don't know about Chrome, but in FF you can go to Tools-Downloads, right-click on it and select "Allow Download" and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I don't know what the hell is wrong with windows. I'm sorry. There are no viruses. It's crazy. It doesn't say what it is, it's erroneous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should check out this link and try to get it resolved: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/3258249 This is the link that Chrome directs you to if you try to download the file.

Chrome can be notorious for reporting false positives. As long as you have an anti-virus enabled on your system, ignore that message.

OrsonAround Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I'm with Logan's comment above. More specifically: To help protect users, Google maintains a list of websites that are known to host malicious downloads and a list of trusted software publishers. If you're a software publisher and your binaries are flagged by Chrome, learn how to resolve malware or unwanted software issues related to your downloads.

globalist Posted November 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 I'm afraid my first question in the OP hasn't been answered. What is the difference between the two downloads? If it's just the package version, why does https://flirc.tv/downloads offer an older version than https://flirc.tv/support/flirc-usb ? Am I missing something? Thanks!
