But, seeing this advanced internet security setting, I can assure you that Windows OS is getting smarter day-by-day as far as Windows security is concerned.
I don’t know whether Windows 7 users get the same error message or not. However, people around the world also get the identical alert in different OS versions of Windows – in Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8. While you download any application from untrusted source and try to install it to the PC, your installation is blocked instantly, which is followed by “These files can’t be opened” alert.įirst time I got the message on Windows 10 OS while installing a Windows application (even after turning off the ‘smart filter’ feature). But, it is an additional internet security setting of Windows. Initially the alert message seems an error to you. This error actually prevents users from installing applications, which are downloaded from any untrusted source like torrent websites, etc. People using Windows OS eventually get this notification message while installing a software to Windows PC. “ These files can’t be opened” is a kind of error notification to Windows 10 and 8.1 users.
