I recently purchased a Sandisk Ultra Flair flash drive because I wanted to password protect some files. The flash drive requires me to download the Private Access software from the Western Digital web site. When I try to do this the Mozilla browser states "Malicious Download Detected" and cancels the download. Does anyone have any suggestions? I went to the Privacy and Security part of Settings, and unchecked the Deceptive Content setting, but Firefox still would not let me download the software. Perhaps the change to the setting I tried did not register in Settings, but here I am asking for your help. Thanks.

That is a option and I never use that. That sounds more likely a false positive and Firefox doesn't scan for virus that is whatever security software your using or Addon that is doing that or giving out that info.

I went to https://support-en.wd.com/app/products/product-detailweb/p/8773 and was able to download https://downloads.sandisk.com/downloads/privateaccess-win.exe without any warning.

Are you sure this message is coming from the browser and not third-party software? Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
