What to Do If Chrome Blocks the Download with "Blocked by Chrome because it's dangerous."
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.

What to Do If an Error Occurs When Running the oCam Installer
When installing or running oCam, you may see an error message like the one below:
"Access violation at address XXXXX in module 'oCamXXXX.exe'. Write of address 00401000"
This error usually occurs when an anti-cheat program such as GameGuard is running. GameGuard uses system resources exclusively to protect the game, and this can interfere with the installation or execution of oCam. To resolve this issue, follow the steps below:
1. Completely close the game that is currently running. When the game closes, GameGuard will also close.
2. To make sure both the game and GameGuard have fully closed, open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and check whether any related processes, such as GameGuard processes, are still running. If any remain, end those processes manually.
3. After GameGuard has closed, try installing or running oCam again.
By following the steps above, you can resolve the conflict caused by GameGuard and install or run oCam normally. If the problem continues, restart your computer and try installing oCam again without launching the game.
