Trying to download from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/auto-vote-rating/mdfmiljoheedihbcfiifopgmlcincadd and getting refusal for download due to virus detection

Yes, at the moment there is such a problem. I do not know why the antivirus started swearing at the extension during installation, I do not even know what to do in this situation and what exactly it did not like.

All I found out is that the antivirus (this is specifically Windows Defender) swears at the file that is downloaded when installing the extension, which is most interesting, if the extension was installed earlier, then it does not swear at the extension as a virus. I also noticed that he doesn't swear at the new version of the extension. Therefore, I have sent a new version for publication and am waiting for Google to approve it.

I suggest you manually install the new version of the extension. mdfmiljoheedihbcfiifopgmlcincadd_main.zip you need to unpack the archive first (GitHub does not allow you to upload crx files directly here) and then install the extension according to this instruction

If you are worried about security (if you really think it's a virus), then either wait for the publication of a new version of the extension or do not install it at all 😩

I do not know what is wrong with this antivirus and what to do in this situation if the antivirus mistakenly identifies my program as a virus when in fact there is no virus there

@vladbogun1, please don't ignore I have not received any more complaints from users, so I consider the problem solved
