Local disk: "These files might be harmful to your computer"

Question

When moving or copying files from my local harddisk, I get the message:

These files might be harmful to your computer. Your internet security settings suggest that one or more files may be harmful.

This happens when I move or copy files on the drive (D:) itself, or when I move/copy files from that drive to any another drive on my pc. All the drives are local installed in my case and connected with sata cables.

How can I disable or fix this pop-up message?

I am running: Windows 10, Version 1511,Os Build 10586.164, It's my own build machine. (I have seen a lot of similar posts, but in my case I am not transferring files over the internet)

Update

It has been a while I posted this question, and I still have this problem. I tried the suggestion from @manjesh23, but this did not work.

Solution

I found a fix by changing "internet options" -- so I guess Windows is detecting the "internet" as my own network.. sigh.

• Click Start / Control Panel / Internet Options
• Click Security tab.
• Click Local Intranet
• Click Sites button.
• Click Advanced button.
• Enter the IP Address of the other machine or server (wildcards are allowed) and click Add
• Click Close, then OK, then OK again.

This worked for me, but it's a bummer I have to manually enter IPs here.. it would be nice if Windows could detect this is a local network file copy and skip the irritating (and pointless) warning about "dangerous" files.

I have that same message since a while. Seems Microsoft considers D: a part of the internet. - looking forward to a solution...

Would that mean changing the drive letter would solve the problem? I have seen it used before though.

Saw this a while back, but tried it again anyway. I added my IP but still get the warning. Also don't get why a local harddrive should have anything to to with intranet.
