I'm guessing that more specifically, SmartScreen considers it "potentially" dangerous, which goes for any application it doesn't recognize. Any unknown application "might" be dangerous after all. I'm afraid there's not much I can do about this.

SmartScreen should offer you the option to ignore the warning and run the program anyway.
