Launch File warning: how to prevent from appear

Greetings!

Using Acrobat X I've inserted a link to open a file. When I try open the link, however, I get the following warning:

Could you suggest me to prevent it to appear from the very beginning please?

Maybe I should sign my PDF file somehow?

Thank you in advance!

It's a security precaution. A PDF document should not be able to launch programs without the user being aware of what's going on. Why do you want to prevent it?

I want to make a CD with menu in PDF file. As the CD is to be distributed to a client, I don't want a client to be confused with the message about potential harm of viruses, marcos, etc.

It there any way to make my PDF trusted?

Is there a workaround?

A security precaution with a workaround wouldn't be much of a security precaution...
