Question

When I attempt to download the TracePro Installer, I see the message "TracePro...Installer.exe is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer". Is it OK to download?

Synopsis

TracePro...Installer.exe is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer

Solution

This typically indicates that this issue is specific to Microsoft Internet Explorer. The conclusion is that Lambda Research would need to add a signature to our installer and executable and pay a fee to a 3rd party that certifies signatures. Is this a good practice to ensure security? Is this a coercive method for Microsoft/Internet Explorer to get software companies to pay one of these 3rd party providers in the name of enhanced security?
