Hi Aleksander Janic,

Thanks for your post. It sounds like your Anti-Virus has somehow been set to hyper sensitivity. Check windows defender, and check the browsers security settings. Something has been set to not allow downloads for safety reasons. If you have checked the settings, You may receive a "Virus scan failed" or "Virus detected" error message when you try to open or save a file or a program from Internet. In most cases, it is not caused by the Windows operating system, but by the antivirus software. If you are certain that the source you are trying to open is safe and trusted, try the following workaround to disable the virus scanning temporarily, and then enable the virus scanning immediately after you complete downloading the program or file. You have to be very cautious about using this workaround. Otherwise, you may be exposed to virus attacks.

From the Start screen, type regedit.exe, and then press Enter.

1. Locate the following registry subkeys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments If you do not see the Attachments subkey, create it by right clicking Policies, select New, click Key, and then type Attachments as the key name.
2. Right click Attachments, select New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
3. Type ScanWithAntiVirus as the value name, and then press Enter.
4. Right-click the new ScanWithAntiVirus DWORD value, and then click Modify.
5. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
6. Exit Registry Editor.
7. Log off and log in Windows to make the change take effect.
8. Open or save the program or file that you failed before.

Note We suggest you change the value of ScanWithAntiVirus subkey to 3 to enable the virus scan right after you completely open or save the program or file.
