Situatie
To fix the Virus Scan Failed error we need to make some changes to the Windows registry. Since it says chrome is unable to scan the downloaded file for the possible virus or malware, we will trick the registry so that it won’t try to scan the downloaded files.

Press Windows + R keys at the same time , and you will get the “Run” dialog box.
Type “regedit” and hit ok. Now you will get the registry editor window.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >SOFTWARE >Microsoft >Windows >CurrentVersion >Policies >Attachments by expanding the folder tree.
Now double-click on the “ScanWithAntivirus” registry key and change its value to “1” which is by default “3“. Changing the key value to “1” actually, instruct the browser not to scan the downloaded program or files.
