Hi Johnny. It sounds like you have the same security settings I have on my Mac, and I chose not to change them. I recently tried to download a Mac program off the Internet. Because I didn't get it from the App Store or an approved developer, I got the same message you did. This didn't used to be, but I suspect this is a new change. I never got this message until after the Apple employees got their Macs hacked. Therefore, it sounds like you will need to decide whether you want a program that Apple has not yet approved. For myself, I'm not going to do it. some people have criticized Apple for keeping tight control over their software. As for me, I say keep doing it apple. I'm perfectly happy for you guys to do it; for myself, I'll paying you guys money to keep it up.
