How can I modify the list of apps accepted to run on my MacBook?

Every time my computer starts the message comes up and asks me if I want to run a program that I downloaded from the internet. This is a program I always want running.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Yes, I understood that. After you 1st run it as right-clicking the App and selecting Open, you won't have the problem you encounter when later run at start-up


If you don't know where the App is locacted, go to ->System Preferences->Users & Groups, click the [Login Items] tab, right click the program, select Show in Finder, then right-click the App and select Open

Thank you, that helped me locate the program in the Resources folder. I was able to start the program by right-clicking and opening it.


I was able to change my security settings back from "Anywhere" to "Mac App Store and identified developers."


But I still get the message from Gatekeeper, asking if I want to run the program, every time I restart the computer or manually restart the program.
