I'm having trouble downloading a file with Google Chrome because it keeps saying "virus detected." I've already tried turning off virus protection in Chrome and disabling Windows' live protection, but nothing seems to work. I can't upload images to show the issue either, but I'm hoping someone can help me out!

It sounds like you're running into either a real virus issue or a false positive. If you're confident that the file is safe and you're downloading from a trustworthy site, you might want to consider using a different browser that's not based on Chromium, like Firefox. That sometimes helps get around the issue.
I tried both Chrome and Edge, and the same problem happens. I think it's an issue with my PC since I disabled protections on Malwarebytes and Windows.
