I just downloaded JBidWatcher for OSX but can't launch it.

When I try to launch it I get his error:

“JBidwatcher” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

I updated Java for OSX just in case. Nothing changed.

Thanks!

    Greetings,
    I'm so sorry. There's something wrong with my signing key that I paid
    Apple for. I signed the application, but Apple is seeing it as a bad
    signature.

    There's a few ways around it. The easiest should be to right click, select
    Open from the right-click menu. It will then ask if you're sure, I think.
     If that doesn't work, or you want a more certain approach, you have to go
    into System Settings. Find the Security & Privacy icon. Under the
    'General' tab, set it to 'Allow apps downloaded from:' and select
    'Anywhere'. Then run JBidwatcher once, and then go back and set it to what
    you had it at. I wish Apple would use some message OTHER than suggesting
    it's damaged, but I'm just a free software developer, I have no impact on
    them with that.

    Anyway, I'm really sorry, and since I have to renew my Mac Developer
    license in a few days, I'll try and get some Apple support to get my
    signing process correct next time.

    Best of luck with your auctions!
