Chrome warns about malicious download

Hi there,

first of all: Thanks for creating ReiKey! Really love how you're helping make the Mac a safer platform with the Objective-See tool suite ๐Ÿ‘ .

I attempted to download ReiKey with Chrome on a Mac and it actually warns about the download being (potentially) malicious:

download

Fun fact: The same thing does not happen with OverSight, the download (same mirror) works without a warning.

I am pretty sure the ReiKey download is fine (shasum checks out), I just wanted to let you know, as I think this might discourage users from downloading/using ReiKey. This is Google's information page on the subject. At the bottom it says:

If you're a software publisher and your binaries are flagged by Chrome, learn how to resolve malware or unwanted software issues related to your downloads.

Not sure if that would be a viable way to get ReiKey whitelisted?
