Feature Request: Make application stop triggering Microsoft Defender SmartScreen

https://www.advancedinstaller.com/prevent-smartscreen-from-appearing.html How can you prevent SmartScreen?

As a user, there is no way to influence which apps will show up on SmartScreen. There are some steps you can take as a developer to prevent SmartScreen from appearing to your users.

The reason SmartScreen shows up is because your application does not have enough reputation with Microsoft SmartScreen yet.

To build trust and gain that reputation, start by:

Submitting your application to Microsoft for malware analysis
Purchasing an EV code signing certificate
Purchasing a standard code signing certificate

I have submitted the 0.5.0 installer to Microsoft. It would be nice to have the code signed but I don't have money to pay for a certificate. If someone is willing to contribute, let me know.

That's odd. Does it recognize regular Firefox as a trojan?

No, the binary (datcord.exe). It lit up like a Christmas tree.

I have both Firefox and Librewolf on the system already.

Not sure then. Maybe I have to submit it to Kapersky for manual review.
