Security Issues: Trouble Downloading and/or Running These Programs: This site was created and is maintained by Prof. Mark Tuttle of the University of Washington. Nevertheless, many clever hackers are active today. Both this site and the files downloaded from it can be scanned for viruses or other forms of malware using a free service (https://www.virustotal.com/). However even a virus-free download may be automatically blocked by virus protection software, browsers, or by the Windows operating system itself. To complete a download you may need to temporarily disable these safeguards and/or log on as an administrator of your computer. Also, a “code signing certificate” has not been obtained for these files, since an annual fee is required to maintain a certificate (http://www.softwarepublishercertificate.com/). Consequently you will likely see a warning that the “publisher cannot be verified” when you run any of these programs.
