GoogleDocs + IDM grievance

Postby Supernova » Sun May 18, 2014 2:54 pm

This has happened to me recently, every time I open a Google Docs page, the rather stupid IDM link grabber will always brutally automatically trying to download something called 'response.bin' although it never able to successfully download it (always gives error: invalid method or such).

Is Google Docs trying to forcefully throw in a malware into my computer or what?

You should counter that by adding an exception to the 'Don't start downloading automatically from these addresses:' list.

Code: Select all
docs.google.com/*.bin

AFAIK, Google Docs are relatively safe and malware free but nothing is completely foolproof. :)
