My name is Ru. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today. Are you using any 3rd party Anti-Virus software? If yes can you try disabling it and start download a file and see if that works? If the issue still persists, Please try the following guide. This will fix the problem of "Virus Scan Failed" every time you attempt any download.
How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. While you can click on "see full history" to display all items that the security program quarantined, you will notice right away that the buttons to remove or restore files are missing there. What you can try is clear the history, and retry the download. It happens that you get a failed download due to the detection of a virus, but no immediate listing under quarantined threats.
The whole process of unblocking files that you want to download that Windows Defender blocked is complicated and to a degree broken. Why are not there options to remove or restore files in the full history, why do I need to click multiple times to find out more about a threat, and why are not threats listed sometimes in the main interface where you can restore them? Very very annoying.! Two concerns here — recovery and false positive. A pain either way. Temporary moral? To try to prove a false positive result suspected OK, run against another antivirus application.
Windows Defender since day 1, and still is, the worse ever security application. So, for a brief shining moment, Windows Defender worked properly? I suppose hiring some trained professional testers is not on the table because their contempt for their customers makes it an unjustifiable expense. I wonder how much farther they can fall. Smart people do not use Windows They use Windows 8. Back in April , I completely blocked Defender and would never re-enable it.
Then click on Add or remove exclusions. Click on Add an Exclusion and select Folder. Try to download the files and check. If you are still getting Failed Virus detected error even after turning off the Windows security then you need to turn off the Google Chrome Safe browsing feature at the same time. Google chrome employs additional security along with Windows default security features, if the downloads are failing you can try to turn off the Chrome security from the settings.
Turning off the Safe browsing feature will instruct Chrome not to scan for the downloaded files using Chrome smart filters. Click on the Attachment registry key and you will find the sub-keys on the right side. Click on OK.
Open Google chrome and try to download the file. The Windows registry method will also fix if you are getting the Virus scan failed error with downloads. Once you are done with your download, it is important to revert the changes you made to avoid different types of malware on your Windows Windows 10 and Google Chrome employ top security features to protect you from malware but sometimes treat a valid file like Java, VBS files, and Source codes as malware.
You can fix Failed virus detected error and force download the files by disabling the security as mentioned. Be sure that you are not downloading fake apps, cracks, and patches since they may contain malware. It is true that all cracks do not contain malware but it is better to be safe than sorry.
You can remove the warning from Chrome as long as you follow these methods offered by MiniTool in this post. This is because Windows Defender is protecting your system from a potentially malicious download. Antivirus software plays an important role in safeguarding your system from security threats and it can block you from downloading untrusted software.
In spite of this, sometimes you may receive misinformation.
