Digital Signature/Certificate error

Wasn't sure where to post this since this is both an Installation problem and
a Security problem. Recently bought a pre-installed Vista Home Basic 32bit
Acer PC. I've updated completely, but, I'm having a slight problem installing
programs I've downloaded. If I run the program an error comes up saying
something about a Digital signature, and when I save the file then run it
after an error comes up and there isn't a solution for it. I don't wanna go
through the hassle of trying to get 50million "certificates" for the programs
I'm trying to get, because there should be a way to install programs without
having to get certificates. I tried a different approach and downloaded the
installation files on my Windows XP PC then transfered the installation
program to my Vista PC from a USB removable hard drive and I go to run the
program and there isn't any problems at all in installing it. Just wondering
if there is a way to disable this digital signature certificate program so I
can just install the programs I've been trying to get without this error
popping up and without doing the USB harddrive method. I'd greatly appreciate
the help, thanks.

You need to tell us the exact error message that comes up for anyone to be
able to help you.
