"antivirus scan failure" with Chrome

Hi,

I'm facing an issue, I can't download any files with Google Chrome. Whatever and wherever the files I wan't to dowload on Chrome, everytime I want to download something, it's cancelled and I get the following message : "antivirus scan failure".

However, when I download the exact same file with Forefox, I have absolutely no problem to do it. So there's only with Chrome that happens. I updated the latest versions of Chrome and Bitdefender but nothing changes.

Do someone face the same problem ? Has eventually a solution ?

Thanks in advance

Hello @LeVertDevin,

Apparently, this is not caused by Bitdefender. Check this article for more information and remediation steps:

Hi,

My issue is resolved. I simply reinstalled Bitdefender and I have no more problems. Then the issue was clearly Bitdefender, which also caused display bugs when launching nord vpn (see screenshot below).

Thank you all for your feedback.

@LeVertDevin thank you for following up with your conclusion! I'm glad to hear the situation was resolved.

Have a good evening ✌️
