Why would an unwanted file download begin on its own?

Why would an unwanted file download begin on its own?


The other night when I was opening one of my zoho docs just to edit it in the cloud, something called "blank" began trying to download into my MacBook, which asked me if I wanted to continue the download. 
I had done nothing out of the ordinary. 
I though it was a mistake and tried other docs. The same thing happened several times.
Tonight I seem to be able to edit without this happening.
Have there been any recent viruses detected on zoho? Before I download any of my docs I want to know I'm safe.

Thank you
