Windows Save ".exe" file when Zoom "Meeting ID" prompt

Support and Troubleshooting
#1

Description of the issue:
Windows 10. New laptop and fresh Brave install with no file sync between computers. Every time I enter the Zoom “Meeting ID” prompt info, a window opens, to “Save” a .exe file, to my download folder. This is before the Zoom “Password” prompt. McAfee LiveSafe support said it is a browser issue. McAfee was out of date when the issue started, though. A search for the .exe file led to a .tmp file in the same directory.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

  1. Open Brave.
  2. Link Zoom.us.
  3. Login to Zoom.
  4. Join Meeting.
  5. Enter Zoom “Meeting ID” prompt info.
  6. Click “Cancel” save .exe file.
  7. Enter Zoom “Password” prompt info.
  8. Zoom meeting starts.

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

Expected result:

  1. No window for “Save” .exe file.

Reproduces how often:

  1. Almost every time I log in to Zoom “Meeting ID”.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):

  1. Windows 10
  2. Brave V1.20.110 (Feb 24, 2021)

Additional Information:

  1. Avast Antivirus Free
  2. McAfee LiveSafe subscription
