Open File - Security Warning
Hi - I am running WIN 7 Pro 64bit, and since the download and installation of SP1 I have been getting a Panel saying "Open File - Security Warning" _ 'Unknown Publisher', when trying to run IE9, Win Mail, plus a number of other Desktop icons (but not all). Clicking 'Open'at the bottom of the Security warning panel, the relevant app runs OK. If instead, I Go to the *.exe file in the appropriate folder, and double click it, the app runs immediately as pre SP1. Also, if I pin the *.exe file to the 'Task Bar', or 'Start Menu' the app again runs immediately without any security warning message.
It therefore appears to be only when attempting to run an app from the Desktop do I get the warning message. I have tried Deleting the desktop icon, then regenerating but still get the same Security message. Although it does not stop me working, It has become quite annoying over the past week !.
Is there anyone in the Forum who can come up with a suggestion on where the problem lies ?.By the way, I have carried out a full anti virus check with Kasperski which gives a clear bill of health.
