🐞 bug report

✍️ Description

Windows Defender is blocking the installation.

Someone know why?

This is not good for the brand.

I installed it before and this not happened, but I don't remember the version.

I do not feel secure installing it.

shouldn't this be fixed by now @manojVivek ?

@adrianoenache we already code signed the app, it shouldn't be showing that warning by now but it is not in our hands. The certificate that ensures an immediate bypass of the Windows SmartScreen is very expensive. We opted for a cheaper one that has an "organic reputation build" so it is going to disappear eventually

Yeah JJ, ideally it should have. But we never know how the reputation system works to be sure. 😐

Having the same issue - though in my case the "Run anyway" button doesn't exist. Probably a case of policy settings.

Was able to "install" anyway by using 7zip to unpack the installer and then unpacking $PLUGINSDIR/app-64.7z - this file contains the app.
