I've just (nearly) downloaded the above software.
Right at the finish I got a warning that it was software that was not often downloaded & that it could harm my computer....

Anyone have this software?

Some reassurance, please!

Roger.

CombineZM is perfectly safe to download and use, but I thought it had been superseded by CombineZP.

As far as I can see, the last update to CZM was in 2008, CZP was in 2010. I'd recommend using the ZP version.

Roger - you are simply being told that this program doesn't have a security certificate issued by Microsoft, which is intended as a form of quality assurance. It is intended to provide a precautionary warning.

In the future, download the program onto your desktop, but do not actually install it until you have scanned the download withyour omputer's installed security suite. Once scanned (and hopefully scans as a clean, malware-free program), it should be safe to install this program.

Some programs will flag up malware immediately upon download, such as Norton Internet Security. If unflagged, it is generally safe to proceed, but before running any program for the first time, do a full system scan with a program such as Malwarebytes, Spybot, etc. That will find any malware that your security suite may have missed.

Don't forget to keep your security suite up to date by doing a daily check for updates.

And thanks for the general security advice,Steven.
