It is of course clear that malware is a threat, but with this kind of “functionality” I see also kind of a “FUD campaign” to discourage users from using free software and software from small providers. Otherwise I felt like I have to prepare a document that instructs the users how they can get through this mess, because it is so much unintuitive that I fear people will simply not any more get there! I tried that today, and after a couple of days I will see whether things are changing… Afterwards you get a “Thank you for reporting” - and no further “promise”. Following this brings you to a Microsoft-Webpage where you can enter information about your webite, company and whatever. You actually find there also an option: “Report this file as safe”. the latest installation package for ParaView, so I am asking myself how you did that trick?Īctually there is an option to report a download link as ok, but I did not see any such thing that would do it directly for all downloads coming from my website: If this is the way you are going - are you really doing it for each and every download that you put on your website? I see now that it does not happen if I download e.g. Make sure you trust nnn.exe before you open it.Īt this point it is indeed possible to “trust” the download and explicitly “keep” it - but it is far from intuitive and involves MANY clicks that you really need to know! Once the user downloaded an installation package with the “Edge” browser, he will see a message instead of a confirmation: Not sure whether this problem belongs into the Development section, but it definitely affects developers trying to present ParaView custom applications for download (after wrapping them with a “superbuild”).
