    I just downloaded MG Tweaks and WinScan2PDF without a problem. Are you still having difficulties?

    Do downloads work properly if you choose another browser?

    Possibly, but if it worked before (?), why not now? What would have changed?

    I just tested with a number of different methods. There are no issues. My best guess is that one of your security products doesn't like the fact that the file is neither common nor signed.

    Without knowing what you have, I can just be general, but suffice to say, most antiviral products are backward-looking. They don't really proactively catch an original virus. So they rely on techniques to stop things they don't know, forcing the user to make a decision - safe or not safe. Then report the result.

    Files like ours that are not commonly known will often get stopped. Nir Soffer's stuff is NOTORIOUS for getting flagged and his shit the best on the net.

    This is my guess as to why.

    Now, you "should" be seeing notifications. If not, you need to look at your software and either tone it down or configure it to notify you somehow. The easiest one to look at first is in Windows ,go to settings > notifications and turn them on. Then see what happens.
