What is EV Upgrader and how does it work?
EV Upgrader is the first ever technology that enables all IE7 on Windows Vista and XP client systems to display the green address bar, organization name, and other Extended Validation interface conventions. EV Upgrader works by prompting existing root update functionality in IE7 for Windows XP on visiting client systems and therefore enabling the IE7 client to “recognize” the SSL Certificate’s EV status. In the absence of the root update, no Windows XP client can ever see the green bar on your site. Once a given client system has a specific EV SSL root installed (by way of EV Upgrader or manual installation, from the Microsoft Web site, by the user) that client will experience “green bar” behavior whenever connecting to a valid EV SSL Certificate on that same root. Note that this root installation affects only the root in question and does not enable that client for EV behavior with any other root.
