    Hi Lexie Landolt

    The message is a security alert from Windows or Internet Explorer/Edge. It appears when you're trying to open or download a file, especially from a network location, email attachment, or untrusted source, and your system's security settings are configured to be cautious.

    It’s designed to protect you from potentially unsafe files that could contain malware, viruses, or other threats.

    Only disable these warnings if you're confident the files and network are safe , you can Unblock the file manually (right-click > Properties > check “Unblock”)
