When I download the latest patched version of MusicBee, my browser (Google Chrome) indicates that the file is malicious. This is only for the recently posted Mediafire download links (as posted in the new layout, and expendable view threads). I take it the actual file is ok and that Chrome has Mediafire down as a dangerous site or something like that, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Is anyone else having this issue with Chrome, or another browser.

This sort of thing has been reported a few times before.  You're right, it's nothing to do with MusicBee, Chrome is just suspicious of mediafire.

Known issue with Chrome and links from MediaFire. Basically, it inherently distrust zips/exes from MediaFire due to the potential for them to be infected. Take it from my personal experience - the links Steven posts are fine, and if you're still unsure, just make sure you scan them properly with an anti-virus before you unzip them.
Bold words in my posts are links unless expressly stated otherwise.
