How to install a shortcut to BBO if Internet Explorer's
Smart Screen Filter blocks the download

When you download a program from the Internet, SmartScreen Filter will check the program against a list of programs that are downloaded by a significant number of other Internet Explorer users and a list of programs that are known to be unsafe. If the program you're downloading isn't on either list, SmartScreen Filter will display a warning that the file isn't "commonly downloaded." It doesn't necessarily mean the website is fraudulent or that the program is malware.

We guarantee that it is safe to download and install software produced by Bridge Base Online.
