If you tried downloading a GolfSoftware.com product using Internet Explorer 9, you may have encountered messages that are slightly disconcerting such as...

_______ "is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer."

This message comes from Microsoft Internet Explorer's "SmartScreen Filter" and can be ignored in the case of GolfSoftware.com products. The SmartScreen Filter web page says in part,

"When you download a program from the Internet, SmartScreen Filter will check the program against a list of programs that are downloaded by a significant number of other Internet Explorer users and a list of programs that are known to be unsafe. If the program you're downloading isn't on either list, SmartScreen Filter will display a warning that the file isn't "commonly downloaded." It doesn't necessarily mean the website is fraudulent or that the program is malware, but you probably shouldn't download or install the program unless you trust the website and the publisher."
