YoWindow Forum

Do you remember a nasty window that pops up when you run freshly downloaded yosetup.exe?
The window warns you that YoWindow has been downloaded from an unknown source.

It is time to get rid of the warning.

I have gone through quite a complex process in order to do this.

I had to prove that I am who I am to a company issuing certificates for software.
I've been sending them scans of my documents, my photo, even my mobile phone contract.
In the end they have called me and I have confirmed that they were calling to me
And after that I had to pay them money for "issuing a certificate".

In this build I hope you will notice that the warning is gone.
Instead you should see an information box with my name as a publisher.

Unfortunately I was not able to sign YoWindow with "Repkasoft" because we did not register a company with this name.
They could only sign it with my name.
I hope the customers will not be distracted.

Guys, let me know your experience with this build please.
Do you see the warning when you run yosetup.exe?

Hi Pasha,

I've just installed RC498 on my Win7 machine.
I'm sorry but I didn't get a box with your name
However the installation was a lot faster and I didn't get the Windows warning saying this software could damage my computer
So the certificate does work I should say!

Thanks for your effort, sorry about the kudo's
And thank you for fixing the startup lag screen

Fred

Thanks for reporting, Fred, what's your Windows version?

Windows 7 Home Premium, SP 1, 32 bits.

Hi Pasha,

by the way .. I didn't get a box with your name and the Windows warning is like in the past. So nothing has changed for me
Win 7 home premium, SP1, 64 bit

Hey, Werner, sorry for the delay!
As far as I see this is not a native Windows window.
Looks like you are using an additional software to protect your computer, and it seems to be called SmartScreen.
As far as I know the certificate we have bought is working for Windows and Mac native internet protection.
But it was not guarantted that every software will be capable to recognize it.
Looks like "SmartScreen" is not so smart

[EDIT] oops, sorry, I just have found out that SmartScreen is a part of Internet Explorer.
I'm puzzled

It seems to be ok.
Here is the explanation why the warning is displayed.
I hope when YoWindow build is downloaded many times the warning is to disappear.
