Google chrome can't load pages and downloads something instead

Recently, when I try to access some pages (I think it's not certain pages, but it happens randomly), Google Chrome wouldn't let me. Instead, a download appears (at the bottom of the browser window like when you download something), and the file being downloaded would either be named "download" or the target of the link. This has happened when I try to go to several pages, including youtube, yahoo, facebook and other various pages.
I would appreciate any help. Thank you.
