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."
Your
