Do you have any more info about this? I've downloaded random executables from a lot of unpopular (and in some cases, newly created by me) sites and never seen anything pop up in chrome warning me not to download it.
> Chrome also does checks on executable files (like ".exe" and ".msi" files). If the executable doesn't match a whitelist, Chrome checks with Google for more information, such as whether the website you're accessing hosts a high number of malicious downloads.
At the time I looked at the implementation in the Chrome source code, but I remember that it took me a while to locate it.
