Download restrictions must be configured.

Setting the policy means users cannot bypass download security decisions. There are many types of download warnings within Chrome, which roughly break down into these categories: - Malicious, as flagged by the Safe Browsing server. - Uncommon or unwanted, as flagged by the Safe Browsing server. - A dangerous file type (e.g., all SWF downloads and many EXE downloads). Setting the policy blocks different subsets of these, depending on its value: 0 = No special restrictions. Default. 1 = Block malicious downloads and dangerous file types. 2 = Block malicious downloads, uncommon or unwanted downloads, and dangerous file types. 3 = Block all downloads. 4 = Block malicious downloads. Recommended.
