Google Chrome has started to block downloads from my website. I get

MyApplication.application may harm your browsing experience, so Chrome has blocked it.

The files on the website are clickonce installers for my own software, it is hosted on a virtual machine, that only myself and collegues have access to, I have verified the website through google's search console, but the issue persists.

I can download any file from Internet Explorer or Firefox, but can't from Chrome.

I'm at a bit of a loss as where to go from here.

My boss has advised that I cannot post a link to the site.

I was able to fix this by verifying the website using the google search tool.

Google Search Tool - Verification

I then had to add the HTML verification file to my website and click the link on the Google Search to verify.

After about 12 hours the issue had been resolved.

    Hi Ilya, I think you need to do this each time you update your website. It's a pain
