Lately, whenever I click on a download link in Google Chrome, it redirects to another link starting with s3.amazonaws.com
, which in turn gets blocked either by Chrome or by my Antivirus (Comodo Internet Security). Copying the same link into Firefox or(*) a download manager downloads the file normally.
I have tried resetting Chrome settings, disconnecting my Google account, removing all extensions, disabling all plugins, and performing a system scan, but the issue persists.
My question is: What exactly is s3.amazonaws.com
? Is it malicious, or is Chrome mistrusting it? And how do I fix the issue?
Edit:
An example file that invokes such behavior is Pandoc msi
setup from this page
(*) It no longer works with Firefox
