And it takes longer too. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/249#post-1270 Sat, 13 Jan 2007 10:06:19 +0000 brantgurga 1270@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>The Activate executable is not digitally signed. A digital signature ensures the executable actually comes from Giveaway of the Day and has not been tampered with in transit. Additionally, Windows Live OneCare will allow digitally signed software through the firewall without prompting because if it is malware, then there is a unique signature that the antimalware portions can detect without false positives. </p>
