posting to old thread deliberately as it is all relevant and I was involved in previous discussion...
setting up calibre, sigil etc on new clean win 7 64. win 7 fully updated, IE11 and chrome installed.
I am back to seeing both the "this kind of file can harm your computer... "nag in chrome when I try to download calibre .msi from official site, and then also seeing " this file came from another computer and may be blocked.... "which I have to manually undo,
it is annoying because does not regularly happen on my current PC, where i install calibre updates most weeks, & I don't have a record of how I fixed it on that machine.
so is there some "learned behaviour" where chrome/ IE/windows eventually decide to allow and trust the regular update, or do I have to go line by line through browser options to figure what is different on the 2 PCs.
(and I have a suspicion that IE settings have to be tweaked away from default even though I am downloading in chrome )
as this is a new install, all IE11 security settings are at default still, and all I have done with chrome is sign in to sync bookmarks etc.
Chrome should have synced all its options to thsi new PC, e.g. it has my mobileread bookmark & log-ins to hand, but maybe it does not sync some of the download security stuff ?
PS it is not happening only with calibre, I see same behavour with sigil installer not being trusted. that is an exe not an msi so is more likely to trigger warnings.
it would be good to figure out & document what has to be done to a new out-of-the-box windows 7 pc to persuade it to play nice with calibre downloads
