"App_Name" is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous
Hello,
I have an application that about to be available to public so when I download it from my website, I get this message on Windows (mine is 8.1)
"App_Name" is not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous
How/where can I obtain a certificate so that end user get encourage and download/install it?
Thanks,
ak

Note the message does not state that the file is dangerous. It is really only warning you that the file is infrequently downloaded. It is easy to scan the file with antimalware after downloading before you open it. You also can Google the reputation of the file.

Thanks for your hint but I remember in past we used to get a security license for the apps (so that can be used for end users) so when somebody would install it, it would show that it is a safe file and has valid company behind it.
Any idea?

@breadtan,
Thank you so much for you comment. Yes, I guess that is what I need to consider.

@Breadtan,
How about Windows 7, will this work too or that targets only Windows 8 and 8.1?
