I see things like this pop up:
all the time, it's annoying, I always get it for software that I know what it is and someone just hasn't gone to the bother of verifying the publisher or whatever someone has to do to stop that happening to their software. I've never had anything like this come up for software I don't know about.
I know how to keep my computer safe enough, even though if things went belly-up I'd have no reservations about simply re-formatting and starting again. Everything remotely important or of value to me is backed up elsewhere.
Anyway, is it possible to turn things like this off? (I've had a look in IE7 security settings and the security center and things like that but didn't find anything that stopped that message from popping up.)
My guess is that my real problem:
is being caused by the same sort of thing but it's not popping up with the option for me to tell windows it's ok.
what's more annoying is that normally, these things pop up behind something and they don't show up on the task-bar so my programs just seem like they're not working but there's actually this thing popped up behind them or I've missed it amongst all the MSN windows/Web browser/whatever else I'm doing.
In short - anyone know how I can turn this security feature off? It's annoying.
