Status: WontFix (was: New)
As noted in the bug description, Windows shows a warning dialog warning the user about links to remote programs. We believe it raises the friction enough for the user to not proceed.
Marking as WontFix.

Please feel free to re-open if you have additional information.

For all Download Protection VRP bugs: removing label Restrict-View-Google and adding Restrict-View-SecurityTeam instead.
