All downloads across the site get flagged as malicious or are simply broken.

I got a new computer recently and needless to say, it doesn't want to cooperate with itch. On my old laptop, I had the desktop app and an antivirus app and was able to download and run the app with no issues, as well as any games. On my new computer, however, when I went to download the app I got redirected to a firefox error page saying it was suspicious page (it flags the certificate as invalid for the domain). Bypassing this and clicking connect anyways instead redirected me to a page from my service provider (fios), whose tool had flagged the link as malicious, again. This time clicking the continue button seemed to simply refresh the page, and no matter how much I mashed that continue button it did nothing. I figured I would just download the game through the browser instead, but clicking download just brought up the "thanks for downloading" dialogue and nothing else. This was true across every game I tried. When I tried to do this for a name-your-own-price game, the download link instead brought me yet again to fios' mcaffee page, which I figure is what broke the other downloads. This does seem to be an issue with this provider, as switching to edge and trying it there did nothing, but I'm certainly confused since I downloaded the itch app on my old computer through fios. This is in addition to all the images on the site completely breaking seemingly at random, again across multiple browsers. Disabling as much of firefox's tracking/cookie protection as possible did nothing to help, either, although I don't know what I expected... I'm not sure this is something I can even fix since again it seems to be a provider issue but if nothing else I want to at least report it.

I have like 2 anti virus and got no issue, you just have to trust itch.io and press continue to website button.

Maybe I am wrong, maybe try go on YouTube and search antivirus downloading itch

I would bypass it if I could, but like i said before clicking continue does nothing. The reason i made a post is because all downloads are effectively blocked completely. Even web tools are unaccessible.
