Trying to download applcation manager to install power director, Chrome and Edge both delete the download saying it has a virus. This is new and never happened before. Also its weird because the download has a (1) in the file name like its a copy. Not the computer, its easily reproducable

I would run my a scan with my antivirus program and also submit the downloaded file to have multiple AV programs evaluate the file. See this article on options.
