Duplicate of #205, but thanks for reporting it. We're aware of this. But it requires a code signing certificate, which you obviously have to pay a significant amount of money for, so it's not high on the list of priorities.

@jmarrec oops, sorry I hadn't realized it was a dupe! Thanks

Thanks for the report @DaveInCaz we are hopeful that the OpenStudio Coalition will be able to get the certificates set up for future releases. In the mean time please help us by submitting the app as safe, once Windows defender get's enough people saying an app is ok then they lower the level of warnings about it.
