Hi Bill or Juliet If you’re sure it’s an Application that is safe, you can right click on the Application (or Control click on it) to bring up the contextual menu, then choose “Open”. This will then ask if you want to open it with a “warning”. You can then choose “Open” and it will allow you to install/run the software. As mentioned, as long as it’s one you’re fine running, then that should get it working.
