SmartScreen filter blocks downloads of Embroidery Reader MSI files #16

I've observed on several occasions that the SmartScreen filter in Windows 10 (might also be in Windows 8) blocks downloads of Embroidery Reader MSI files.

I suspect that signing the installer and/or executable files might keep it from being blocked. Need to do more research on SmartScreen and find out what triggers it to block a download.

Possibly helpful info, StartSSL offers code signing certificates for $60 per year. (See startssl.com under the "What we provide" section) Not sure if that would help with SmartScreen, but it's the cheapest code signing certificate I've come across.
