CPAP Software File "not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous" - SuperSleeper - 08-26-2015 With new browsers and Windows 10 becoming more prevalent on new personal computers, we're getting a lot more folks reporting that upon downloading ResScan, EncoreBasic or SleepyHead, their web browser reports that the zip or exe installation file is "not commonly downloaded and could be dangerous". This seems to be occurring with both the newer Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge web browsers. This is Google's and Microsoft's way to "warn" you that these files have not been downloaded by a lot of people, and therefore Chrome or Edge can't determine if they are "safe" or not. It's happening more and more with a lot of completely safe and virus-free files, but the warning keeps popping up as a "false positive" of sorts. We created a webpage notice that explains this a bit, here: http://www.apneaboard.com/warning-message.htm From that web page: Quote:Using the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge web browsers? |
