Every time I try to download or upgrade software to my laptop I get this error message on the bottom left of my screen, ERROR: FAILED VIRUS DETECTED. Ever since Internet Explorer 10 was automatically downloaded I can't download any software. I have programs to run and it needs the latest JAVA and I can't even download Java now so I cannot open my programs. Even Adobe Flash player needs to be upgraded so I can continue playing my games but no matter which software I try I get this error. I worked with a Tech. support team located in India but they were just thumbing through the manual. I have many years experience since I used to fix computers, copiers, and fax machines and had to replace hard drives and install new software to keep the machines up to date, but this problem is kicking my a_ _. I also was getting an error code of 8007000b every time an update was available. I went online to download the software to correct this issue but I kept getting that error: FAILED VIRUS DETECTED Any suggestions? I've even tried restoring to a previous date before Internet Explorer 10 but to no avail the damage is done, I think it is a security issue with an update that was downloaded.
If all above fails, May be its due to this malware 'ZeroAccess rootkit/Sirefef'... What it does is it will block downloading and it will block you from visiting to some site...

I found that the following pattern allows to disable the large file notification:
I think anyone knows how to find the file-id for Google Drive file.
Please keep in mind that this method works only if file is shared with 'Public on the web' option.
But this feature is deprecated and will stop working after August 31, 2016: http://googleappsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2015/08/deprecating-web-hosting-support-in.html
After spending many countless hours trying to get a direct download link that bypasses the virus scan I finally figured it out by accident. A URL in the format below along with your Google API key will bypass the virus scan. I could not find this documented anywhere (here is the official doc) so use at your own risk as future updates might break it. https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/fileid/?key=yourapikey&alt=media
You can also use the authorization access token from google oauth instead of the apikey.
I don't believe there is any longer a way to bypass Google Drive's warning that a file is too big to be scanned for viruses.
At one time Google Drive had web hosting support via webViewLink URLs that look like googledrive.com/host/[doc id]. But that feature is deprecated and will stop working after August 31, 2016.
use zip-extractor to download file and extract to your Google Drive. It's offered as an option at the website you found the link at. You have to be logged in at Google Drive for this to work.
The way to go is to use the link format Mick suggested:
The confirm Code ist valid indefinitely for each file. It does not change over time. So far the only way to find out the confirm code (or for that matter the complete link) is to curl https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=FILE_ID and then extract the link under the 'download anyway' button, which includes the confirm code.
Cheers.
A better alternative is to use a Google Cloud Bucket.
- Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Platform Console.
- Create bucket that is Multi-Regional or Regional based on your need.
- Upload the file o the bucket and make it public.
- Use the public url to download the file using scripts, browser, gcloud commands, wget or curl.
This will work for any file size. Cloud Bucket service is really cheap. Google gives you free credits to start out and the bucket use can be well covered under the free credits.
A Virus Was Detected So You Cannot Download This File
Well you can try 'Download anyway'
If that doesn't work I have found with Gmail that by changing the extension to .txt it allows the file to be downloaded/transferred then when downloaded you can change it back to .zip
A Virus Was Detected So You Can't Download This File To Windows 10
You can bypass preview, virus scan, AND get the correct file name if you simply use the following link convention:
where the google drive file id replaces FILE_ID.

you must disable virus scan from Chrome, but it will disable virus scan from all activities with the browser. In Chrome Preferences, show Advanced Settings and uncheck 'Enable phishing and malware protection'.
