Dear all, I have scanned the new Windows exe file "setup.all.4.4.3.1.win.exe" with Kaspersky and found no issues. Kaspersky also provide a free service to whitelist software on https://whitelisting.kaspersky.com/whitelist_program. Furthermore McAfee Endpoint security reports the webplace epidata.dk safe to use and finds no threats when scanning the file setup.all.4.4.3.1.win.exe. However Microsoft Explorers "SmartScreen-filter" reports the program setup.all.4.4.3.1.win.exe with a generic security warning "This executable could harm the computer" and "SmartScreen-filter rapporterade att det inte är vanligt att det här programmet laddas ned och att det inte är signerat av utgivaren" translated to "The SmartScreen filter reported this executable to be an unusual download and the file is not signed by the provider". This is described in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17443/windows-internet-explorer-sm… and maybe creating a certificate could solve this IE problem? (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/uwp/packaging/create-certificate-p…) I hope this can be of some help. Seems though tat the download issue is restricted to Internet Explorers SmartScreen filter.

Epidata Data entry
by EpiData development and support 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

Hello, I have Downloaded and installed Epidata Entry version 4.4.2.0.i386.darwin.dmg on my MAC - from 04. July 2018. But when I double click on a REC file or a QES file I get an error. Access error. When I open Epidata Entry and try to open a REC or QES files, they are greyed out. I am using MAC OSX Sierra. Is this a compatibility issue? Venlig hilsen/Kind regards Antonio Sylvester antonio(a)au.dk
