Resolve "not commonly downloaded" warning in Chrome for customers

Question

When customers click on a download link for one of our products they see a warning that the file is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous.

This is a false positive.

Where can we upload our files to be marked as safe by Chrome/Google as we do for all anti-virus vendors?

You can see here how Google does it. Apparently, signing your EXE with a proper trusted (non-self-generated) certificate helps.

If by "secret" you mean "[first hit](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/252226/signing-a-windows-exe-file) on Google when searching for 'sign executable'", then yes. :p – Amadan Mar 30 '13 at 07:02

Same here. Signing appears to make no difference. – NickG Jan 14 '16 at 16:01
