But Its a lie
I am facing this issue with my installer: Installer exe when downloaded from the websites in Chrome are flagged as being malicious software.
To overcome this problem so far we have tried changing domain names,but its not a permanent solution.
Even after signing my exe with Thawte certificate the flag is still there.
I have scanned my exe with all popular AVs and there is nothing malicious in it.
How can I get rid of this chrome flag?

This blog highlights the risk of installing extensions, even those that have a large install base as they can still contain malicious code. McAfee advises its customers to be cautious when installing Chrome extensions and pay attention to the permissions that they are requesting.
The webmaster site doesn't do anything to help with the false positive on installers. All it does is tell you the file is potentially malware without giving you any way of appealing or asking for a review of their findings. With FireFox and Chrome and others using this data, you would think Google would provide a way to appeal. It is ironic the company starting the false positive initiative with Microsoft is the worst offender in creating false positives.
