Qt's installer file gives "... is malicious, and Chrome has blocked it" message in Chrome [closed]

Question

I downloaded Qt from the qt site:

http://qt-project.org/downloads

And upon downloading, I get a message from Chrome that "qt-opensource-win....exe is malicious, and Chrome has blocked it." This was the default link on the page for me, which was:

Qt Online Installer for Windows (9 MB) (Info)

I also tried downloading:

Qt 5.2.1 for Windows 64-bit (VS 2012, 556 MB) (Info)

However, after finishing downloading it gives the same error.

Is this something I should be concerned about? I don't remember getting this error any of the other times I've downloaded Qt.

Answer 1

I downloaded a different variant of the latest qt opensource installer (qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw48_opengl-5.2.1.exe) and got the same response from Chrome. Following the info link I got the sha-1 and md5 checksums and compared them to what I had downloaded and it was a match. The file is also signed by Digia. Kaspersky also scanned it and came up clean.

It would be great if Chrome had more information on why it thinks these downloads are malware. It could also be related to the mirror site I used being blacklisted. Apparently Chrome uses a few different criteria including the server you downloaded from.
