The only reason I know for Google blocking content is, that the website is (was) infected with malware somwhere deep in the structure. This often happens to outdated Wordpress installs, especially after recent exploits. Blocking an executable however is new to me. I wonder what the real reason is.

We use Wordpress for our Blog but it's completely separated from our main website. I guess theoretically it could be infected but we don't distribute any software from there. https://blog.glasswire.com Google Webmaster Tools pointed specifically to our installer file that is rated as safe by VirusTotal.com.
