The files I download from itch io keep saying "failed - virus scan failed"

I've never experienced this problem before. I have been using the same antivirus software from when I started to download games from here. Recently, no matter what developer I try downloading from, I get the same message of "failed- virus scan failed". I even tried downloading a game I previously downloaded, but the same message popped up. I've tried turning off real time scanning and fire wall, but nothing does the trick. I would just like to know if anyone has been experiencing the same problems and/or has a solution to fix this. 

For extra info that might help solve this, I use windows and the antivirus I use is macfee.

itch.io doesn’t produce an error message like that, so it’s coming from your computer’s software & configuration. You may have to review you computer’s setup to ensure that everything is working as intended.
