Folks,

when I downloaded the Windows installer, I got the message saying “publisher couldn’t be verified”. How to proceed?

Dear Anssi,

I am not sure what the problem is but I guess you are using IE Explorer.

It seems that IE Explorer complains about the Open Foris executable installers (Calc, Collect and Collect Earth ).

When I click on the Collect Earth download and then save, I get this warning message

So if you want to overcome the warning you need to **click on Actions** 

You will get this dialog

And finally when you **click on More Options** you will be able to Run the program

It seems that now this problem has disappeared.

It could have had something to do withe the Antivirus analysis of the browsers which take into account how many times an application has been downloaded in order to qualify it as a possible virus.
