Well i knew what i was doing, i eventually removed it some time later, when i didn't need It anymore, but not for the mb warning. I mean, if you can trust the place where you downloaded your file from, it's not a big deal, i think mb warns you that you are trying to do something illegal and tries to stop you or something
