Scroll down to Exclusions, click the link "Add or Remove Exclusions", answer "Yes" to the Windows 'Security' question... (sigh) - " (+) Add an exclusion". If the file is on the computer (mine would not allow me to download the file), then you can choose a specific file. Anything on the web is NOT touchable on my box. So, I used "File Type", and entered "7z" in the little dialog box, and click on "Add". After the download, be sure and extract the file, then click on that "7z" entry, and "Remove", if desired... Talk about a convoluted mess! This USED TO BE a one button process in the Security dialog when it flagged a file... sigh. I gotta go potty now, but I don't have any MSCEs nearby anymore to hold my hand while I go... I used to be qualified to do that.
In this case Jeff, I don't know as VeriSign would help either. It is an executable file inside a 7z file, and MS dunna wanna no 7-Zip proggy on your computer... it's "free" to use, and MS wants all that monetary flow they're not capturing going through them... look at Paint dot net now... just as many "updates" as Windbloze... Hopefully, Sweetscape stays out of their clutches.
