I have searched all of the options in google chrome, and for the life of me i cannot figure out how to cancel this download lol!

It is some unknown file type windows does not recognize, and is annoying because even after it finishes downloading it randomly tries to download it again, quite frequently. When this happens it messes up my browsing etc etc. (plus its just plain annoying!).

Help would be greatly appreciated : )
