Are you a malware author that has been victimised by the Safebrowsing list or know of a legitimate site that has been affected?
Or have you made up a hypothetical and decided to get angry about that?

Google put a real chill down my spine when they did that to me, not being able to download files from my own website.
- meibo 6y agoIn my experience, this has become increasingly common when distributing software that isn't signed. I don't sign my software due to privacy concerns, and it regularly gets bogus detections on VirusTotal and Google's similar systems that flow into Safe Browsing. Mostly from Norton and BitDefender, who are notorious for not replying to any inquiries/submissions. AV is a complete ripoff nowadays and downright malware (coming from someone that had to cancel an accidental Norton subscription for his usually technically sufficient parents, it's a maze of broken support pages and infinite redirects between different language versions).
