: IE9 smart screen bypass Good old IE9 apparently doesn't know that small businesses have fewer customers than it takes to make a 'commonly downloaded file'. So I get these errors. I'm not sure
Good old IE9 apparently doesn't know that small businesses have fewer customers than it takes to make a 'commonly downloaded file'.
So I get these errors. I'm not sure if the first error is related to the second one. I've been pumping my download through a hidden iframe so I can manage security more directly and log downloads. It's worked for quite a while and continues to work in all other browsers, but I always get 'download was interrupted' in IE9 (so do our clients), but pressing resume works.
However, the most obnoxious thing is that you get 2 opportunities to delete the file downloaded and one extra opportunity to just ignore it. So, our tech support dept gets calls from 99% of the confused IE users.
Sorry for the two part question, but I'd imagine this all has something to do with smart screen filter since other file types (PDF, DOC, XLS) can download just fine without being 'interrupted'.
Why was the download interrupted
How do I make my program 'commonly downloaded' whatever help there is from Microsoft is quite misleading, set me off for an hour looking for an option that didn't exist.

There's an MSDN blog post explaining how to build "reputation" for your download, but overall this is at least somewhat out of your control. It seems to be a rather unpopular feature(also see comments there), and I expect it'll receive some adjusting or even removal soon.
I hate to say this, but is it out of the question to put a notice on the download screen telling people this might happen, to at least avoid the confusion(sometimes, if they read)?
It's hideous, but the sort of thing that's had to be resorted to in the past.
