Where have you got that number? I see $499 a year at verisign:Jibz wrote:Of course it is a tradeoff between the benefits and the ~$170 a year the certificate costs.
Pardon the bluntness, but is XYplorer really targeted at people who are not intelligent enough to ask a question or are so prejudicial that they would blame the software without knowing the actual cause?admin wrote:Code: Select all

Maybe not targeted, but those folks can certainly be hit.zer0 wrote:Pardon the bluntness, but is XYplorer really targeted at people who are not intelligent enough to ask a question or are so prejudicial that they would blame the software without knowing the actual cause?admin wrote:Code: Select all

So maybe this issue should be listed in http://www.xyplorer.com/faq.htm which may make it a bit easier to find?Jibz wrote:The real problem is the next potential user who comes along looking for a file manager might not realize the cause and choose a different one because XY appears to be slow to start.

If you are interested you might also want to check out resellers like ksoftware who seem to be offering comodo certificates at around $100. I have no experience with them though.

1) Why does Microsoft “insist” on VeriSign certificates?
Microsoft Windows Quality Labs only recognizes files that are signed with a Verisign Class 3 Certificate of Authority (COA).To be more precise, you need a Verisign certificate to sign hardware drivers, and you apparently also need one at present for the windows certification program. The others work fine for getting rid of pesky prompts and anti-virus software.zer0 wrote:Microsoft Windows Quality Labs only recognizes files that are signed with a Verisign Class 3 Certificate of Authority (COA).[/code]
One can create their own free certificates with OpenSSL -- as explained here: http://blog.didierstevens.com/2008/12/3 ... h-openssl/ -- but I am not certain if it would be good enough to warn off those "annoyances"Jibz wrote:To be more precise, you need a Verisign certificate to sign hardware drivers, and you apparently also need one at present for the windows certification program.
