How to enable downloads in Google Chrome

Google Chrome’s default settings allow you to download various files from the Internet. All you have to do is open your browser, find something you want to download, and save the file.

Typically, you do this by clicking the download link and allowing Chrome to download the file when prompted. Sometimes you may need to right-click on the file and select the “Save As” option. You may also need to select the download folder to save the file to.

Why disable downloads?

Some downloaded files pose a greater threat to the security of your computer than others. Executable files with the *.exe extension are particularly dangerous because, as the name suggests, these files contain executable code. Unless you are absolutely sure that a downloaded executable file is from a trusted source, you should never click on that type of file.

Ask any experienced IT administrator and they will tell you that the threat of viruses and other malware increases exponentially as more people access and use a PC. Even in a home environment, impatient children or inexperienced users are more likely to click on anything that looks tempting. Disabling the ability to download files is one way to protect your computer from the actions of these users.
