".. is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous" error for .exe file in IE, Firefox and Crome

I am receiving this error in IE, Firefox and chrome also.   Is there any specific setting we need to do in browser or any way to avoid through code ( in a .net application).
    This error I observed in windows xp, Windows 7 and  Windows 8 also.
Any clue on this will be helpful.

All browsers will warn you when try to run an exe, even those from microsoft, so if you want people to run your app without getting warned it is not possible unless your clients change their browser settings by decressing security level.
and for the reasons suggested by pierrejeanes there is no legitimate way of turning the warning off using .net or any other code - because that would be exploited by viruses and other malicious code

the clue is kind of in the message
