Is anyone else having Chrome block 7.2 sab from downloading? I'm used to the typical this might be harmful message, but this one is a it WILL harm my computer. Had to open the download tab just to get to where I could override it. After downloading successfully it came back clean with a virus scan - clamwin.

gmail always rejects attachments with extensions indicative of windoze executables, so that in itself has no meaning. Some virus scanners and the likes (and that may include chrome) use heuristic or "reputation"-based guessing, which can easily make them panic with certain files they haven't seen before such as all-new sab releases.

I was trying to get the problem fixed early before everyone else tries to download and panics.
as for gmail... even renaming it to a txt file and compressing it with rar didn't make a difference.
