Try running Minecraft. It's an unsigned binary so Windows "helps" you by hiding the 'Run Anyway' under the more info warning.



Given enough downloads that warning disappears. Basically it displays for unsigned executables with low download counts which may imply malware. It usually goes away after a few hours for moderately popular software.

And apparently notch can't afford a code signing certificate.


I just did. No warning.
