What to Do If Chrome Blocks the Download with "Blocked by Chrome because it's dangerous."
Using oCam at work or school? A license is required, and it removes all ads, including this window. See the paid version →
When trying to download OhSoft software (for example, oCam) in the Google Chrome browser, you may see the warning message "Blocked by Chrome because it's dangerous." This issue occurs because Chrome has incorrectly detected the OhSoft program as unsafe, which is a false positive.
This does not usually happen, but it may occasionally occur shortly after an update has been released.
OhSoft programs are safe software that do not distribute malware, sponsored programs, or any other malicious software. This warning is most likely the result of Chrome's security filter making an incorrect judgment based on the file's source or reputation information. To resolve this issue, follow the steps below:
1. In Chrome's download bar (the download notification shown at the bottom), click the warning message.
2. In the window that appears, click the "[Show all]" button.
3. When the additional options window opens, select "[Keep dangerous file]" and proceed with the download as instructed.
By following this process, you can bypass Chrome's block and safely download the OhSoft software.
If the problem continues, you may also temporarily disable the Safe Browsing feature in Chrome settings or contact OhSoft for assistance.

How to Fix the Issue of 7 Days to Die Not Being Detected for Game Recording (Anti-Cheat Related)
When recording a game with oCam, problems may occur if a game with an AntiCheat feature is running. AntiCheat software may block recording software or cause conflicts, which can prevent oCam from working properly. Below is a detailed explanation of how to solve this problem and record games smoothly with oCam.
To resolve problems caused by the AntiCheat feature, you can launch the game without AntiCheat enabled. You can use an option provided by Steam or run a specific game executable directly to bypass AntiCheat. Below are two methods:
Method 1: Launch the game from Steam without AntiCheat
1. Launch the Steam client and select the game you want to record (for example, 7 Days to Die) from your Library.
2. On the game's detail page, click the blue 'Play' button.
3. When the launch options window appears, select the 'Launch Without AntiCheat' option.
4. The game will launch without AntiCheat, allowing normal recording with oCam.
Method 2: Run the game executable directly
For some games, you can disable AntiCheat by running the executable directly from the Steam library folder. For example, in the case of 7 Days to Die:
1. Go to the Steam library path. The default path is `SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\`.
2. In that folder, find the `7DaysToDie.exe` file and double-click it to run it.
3. When launched this way, AntiCheat is automatically disabled, and you can record the game in oCam without any issues.
Applying the methods above can resolve conflicts caused by AntiCheat and allow you to record the game smoothly with oCam. However, disabling AntiCheat may cause restrictions in online multiplayer mode, so make sure your recording is intended for offline play or single-player mode. If the problem persists, using the latest game patch or the latest version of oCam may also help.
