[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 806592"] I m 99% sure it's based on that setting. I'm pretty sure that it block virtually all installers regardless of vendor, if it's not from the app store, using that setting. Unless they have a small whitelist for some vendors, hence the different prompt? :unsure: Another thought after posting, is maybe it uses mark of the web as well? If you use an installer from a USB or something and not download it directly, you get a different prompt? [/QUOTE]
