From yellow to green :-))

Hey .....

 

I can't remember if I have heard an explanation for this ? ...I downloaded a new version of " Winrar" 5.01 today..just released yesterday. I checked the file by using " reputation ", you know right click context menu, and the file get categorized as "attention (yellow). I  installed the file,(is a known vendor) and check " Running processes" and there it is categorized as fine (green). Why the difference......yellow when you right click file repetition, and green when the file process is running?

 

Regards Janus

Hello Janus,

 

it might be caused by the fact that it is not the same file.

In running process you are checking the reputation of the Winrar executable and via context menu you are checking reputation of the installer.

Hello

Thanks Peter, you answer make sense, but won't that difference in how the file is evaluated/rated, confuse most users?

Hello Janus,

 

it can be a bit confusing, but hopefully the installer will gain reputation after some time so it will be green as well.
