5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch (GS105Ev2) DST Error Message on Mac

5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch (GS105Ev2)

Switch up and running, however when I attempt to launch on (Mac mini M2 Pro) the DST comes back with message "NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool" Not opened... Apple could not verify Netgear discovery tool is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy" 

 

Options are "Done" or "Move to Trash"

  • If you got this tool from NG download site, you might want to tell OSX to accept or put in a exclusion rule in the OSX privacy settings for this one tool app. I beleive there is a setting to allow apps from 3rd party developers or un checked developers.
