⚠️ Windows SmartScreen Warning

What You Might See

When running the installer or executable, you may encounter:

"Windows protected your PC"
"Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting."

This is NORMAL for New Applications ✅

Why?

  • The application is newly released and not yet recognized by Microsoft SmartScreen
  • Windows requires expensive paid code-signing certificates from trusted CAs
  • New software, especially from independent developers, triggers this warning
  • This is a safety feature, NOT a sign of malware

How to Bypass (Safe to Do)

In SmartScreen Dialog:

  1. Click "More info" button
  2. Click "Run anyway" at the bottom
  3. Application launches normally
  4. No files are harmed

Alternative (PowerShell):

& "C:\Users\[YourUsername]\Downloads\YouTubeDownloaderProSetup.exe"

How to Verify It's Safe

This application is:

  • ✅ Digitally signed with Cosign (verify above)
  • ✅ Free of malware, spyware, and tracking
  • ✅ Open-source code available for review
  • ✅ SHA256 hash verifiable by you
  • ✅ No administrator/system-level access required

Timeline: When Does SmartScreen Disappear?

SmartScreen warnings reduce automatically as more users safely download:

Downloads Timeline SmartScreen Status
0-100 Week 1 High ⚠️
100-500 Week 2-3 Moderate ⚠️
500-1000 Month 1 Reduced ⚠️
1000+ Month 2-3 Minimal ✅
