Windows XP Error Message

Updated 21. July 2008 - 2:41 by sillydreamboy77

How can I download a file if I get the message "Windows has blocked this program because it cannot verify the publisher"?

It's about Windows preventing any damage to your operating system. The software you have downloaded is Unsigned software—software that does not have a valid software publisher's certificate can pose a risk to your computer and the information you store on your computer and can be blocked. So long as you have downloaded it from a well known site without Spyware etc just go ahead and load it. I have had it a few times and knowing where I downloaded I just carried on. Just thank yourself lucky you haven't got Vista!

It's a Bellsouth DSL Optimization tool and the pop-up doesn't give any area to load it..all it has is an "ok" then it disappears...

Vista also gives you that message, not a big deal; in alternative right-click the file> properties> unblock (if you trust the file, if you are certain it's not contaminated, etc).

might help. If you google the error message, you get a lot of hints...

I tried un-checking the option to download a file whether the signature is valid or not and it still has the same pop-up come up...very frustrating!!
