Hi. This smart screen filter you're mentioning is part of internet
explorer, it's designed to keep people from downloading malicious stuff.
here are directions from Microsoft's support page.
To turn the SmartScreen Filter off, follow these steps:
1. open Windows Internet Explorer 8.
2. On the Safety menu, point to SmartScreen Filter, and then click Turn
Off SmartScreen Filter
3. In the Microsoft SmartScreen Filter dialog box, Turn off SmartScreen
Filter, followed by the ok button.
The directions above don't mention this but I believe the safetey menu
is located under tools/internet options. I'm running internet explorer
10 here under windows 7 so things are a tad different.
I hope this helps though.

Dear List:
I am using windows internet explorer 8 and windows xp.
I just downloaded some shorter books successfully from bard.
However, with the book db 50475, after hitting the Save button, it got
into trouble. The download stopped and a link to a microsoft smart
screen filter appeared. When I clicked on it, I was asked if I
thought it contained malicious phishing and malware. It had a
captcha, both video and audio. I attempted the audio a few times,
guessing at some of the words, but nothing good happened. Other than
coercing a sighted person to come and type in the captcha, have you
encountered this situation and found any other solution to this
problem? Thanks. Regards: Ted Larson
