Windows found that this file is potentially harmful. To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file.

When downloading a file Im getting this error "Windows found that this file is potentially harmful. To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file."

Microsoft and every other site says to right click the file > properties > unblock however the file disappears. Any ideas?

Run a Search to see if you can find the downloaded (and apparently disappeared) file in some other location.

Is WinZip installed on the PC?
