allowed. This causes a need to download the file with
the name EXP and not EXE. The instructions to rename
the file from EXP to EXE are at the bottom of this page.

The EXE files are digitally signed
with a COMODO Code Signing Certificate. That means
that COMODO has checked us out, verified that FinSoft and
the registering officer exist and that our address and phone
numbers are genuine. This Code Signing Certificate
is part of the EXE files and can be seen in the properties
of the ABL-Help file. In addition, users that update
the Root Certificates (typically with a Windows update)
will see that the program creator is FinSoft and that the
installer does not indicate an unknown publisher. |
