# Chrome Warning: “Suspicious download blocked”

⚠️ Make sure to download GravityKit plugins from your [Account](https://www.gravitykit.com/account/) page. Do not download any GravityKit plugins from other websites.

If you’re unsure about a file, you may [contact our support team](https://www.gravitykit.com/support/) before downloading.

When downloading GravityView or other GravityKit products from the GravityKit Account page, some users may see a message in Chrome that says:

*“Suspicious download blocked”*

 ![Chrome warning shows "Suspicious download blocked" for gravityview-2.46.1.zip in recent download history](https://www.gravitykit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/file-kWSuVuJdfv.png)

This happens because WordPress plugins are distributed as `.zip` files, and Chrome sometimes flags `.zip` files as suspicious even when they are safe.

## How to Continue the Download

You can safely proceed with downloads from GravityKit:

1. In the Chrome warning, click the message.
2. Select **“Download suspicious file”** to complete the download.
3. Report the file as safe to Google using this form: [Report a download as safe](https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_error/)
