This alert is so annoying and stupid it hurts. I had it too when running one of my own program. I guess this is part of MS strategy: FUDing traditional applications in a desperate attempt to get people to use their store. Except the store won't become attractive anytime soon by alienating developers.

- DaiPlusPlus 8y agoThe warning goes away for "widely used" binaries. I maintain a desktop application (with MSI installer) for a niche industry with a few hundred users and for the first few weeks they had the scary red warning, but after then they started seeing the blue, non-scary pop-up, even for new binaries provided they're signed with the same certificate. We have a Comodo code-signing cert (non-EV though) which costs ~$70/yr through Tucows (remember them?).
- jenscow 8y agoSo what gets "trusted"? The certificate, or the publisher?
