How to quickly remove Mac apps from Quarantine

Hi all,

Getting the following annoying message every time you open the same app?

“XYZ.app” is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?

I was receiving the same for Adium when I last upgraded it, and found a very easy solution to that. Open up a Terminal window and type in the following:

sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Adium.app

Voila! You're done.

Let me know if that helped :)
