Bikash,
I don't think you can avoid it consistently. It may have to do with the users' browser security settings, but you can't depend on or change that. Can you use a regular format (i.e., HTML)?
As I understand it, CHM has to be used with Microsoft programs and even then may not display seamlessly (users may have to download it, as you describe).
