Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Is there a way to stop this annoying popup when I open a downloaded file?

I download a CSV file with stock quotes every day; and every day when I open it, Snow Leopard gives me the same popup:

User uploaded file


Is there a way to say "Yes, I'm sure; so please make a note of it and stop asking me the same question every day" ?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Download the free application TinkerTool (not "TinkerTool Pro," which is something else.) In the Applications tab, select "Don't show quarantine warnings for downloaded files." Log out and log back in. You will lose the built-in malware protection if you do this.
