I have a program from a known vendor that I would like to install on Vista
Business. When attempting Installation I get the message box:

"Windows Security Warning

Windoes fouind that this file is potentially harmful.

To help protect your computer, Windoes has blocked access to this file.

Name: Setup.exe"

I really want to install this program. How can I defeat this Security
Warning??

Chris,

Right-click the setup.exe file | Properties & click the unblock button

Thank you for your quick responses. Unfortunately, neither proposed solution
did the trick. I do not have an option under Security to "Unblock" and there
is also no "Run As Administrator" option when right clicking. Windows Help
suggested going intio Windows Mail and adjusting a Security setting there.
That too was no help.

This program is currently Zipped. It gives me the same message if I try to
unzip it.

Any other ideas ???

OK, got it.

Let me tell you what I found. There was an Unblock button for the zip file,
but not one for the individual SETUP.EXE file. I clicked the Unblock button
and everyting went nominally.

Thanks for all your help.
