Locked Install-File TIH2013
Can anyone tell me how comes that my downloaded install-file is locked?
I bought a licence, logged in to my Acronis-account and had it registered and then downloaded the file from there. Have a look at the picture of the file-properties please.
Where does that "lock" come from? Windows? AV-Scanner? Acronis?
( the hint about this came here in this forum when I could not install)

>Does Zulassen mean blocked?< well it seems so
Translation of zulassen is about the same as let it run.......

The unblock button disappears once you've run the installer.

With my system it did NOT!
perhaps because the installer seemed to run - then rolled back and said "failure" - I then got the information about this Unblocker-thing here in the forum - before that information I had no idea it existed.........after that I had to deactivate the Windows-Firewall to get the installation running - which did me no good - I had the very same problems I had had afterwards.....
As I said: I have given up with TIH2013 - for the time beeing.......

This is an example of an ADS - Alternate Data Stream - which is used by some download and email software, etc., to indicate extra info for stuff like virus scanners.
In your case it is probably a Zone Identifier.
You can use the 'streams' command from sysinternals suite to see and/or remove ADS files. Use 'streams -s -d .' for cleaning a directory. I keep a batch file with this in it in my Downloads folder.
It is rare, but ADS files can contain malware.

You can also move files with ADS to a drive that is formatted as FAT or FAT32 and then move them back to the NTFS drive and the ADS will be gone since FAT and FAT32 have no support for ADS.

perhaps I have not made clear that that meant the problems like freezing, ComSurrogateMistake etc - I could use the Unblock-Button, deactivate the Firewall and then install!

Clicking the unblock button means you don't have to deactivate your firewall, or at least it should.
You will sometimes find you get the button if you copy files from a CD onto your hard drive with a message telling you that the file did not originate on your PC, do you really want to open/run it.
