Google Chrome will start flagging misleading downloads
According to Google, the goal with this expansion is to protect people "against additional kinds of deceptive software," something like a malware program that may be looking to make abrupt changes to a computer. On the Chrome browser, soon you'll start seeing a warning every time a third-party tries to lure you into downloading a piece of software -- ultimately, though, it's up to you to determine whether or not to install it. Naturally, Google's blog post does emphasize that you should always beware of the sources you trust, but you already knew that, right? Life 101, folks.

I like this actually. I use chrome for everything and it letting me know it may be a bad file to download is nice. Even though I have software/programs set up for this, this will be good too.
