SmartScreen and signing
Explain the warning. Do not dismiss it.
The current installer is not code-signed. Windows SmartScreen may therefore show “Unknown publisher” or “Windows protected your PC.” That message concerns publisher signing and reputation; it is not the same as an antivirus scan result, and it is not proof that a file is safe.
Use only the official GitHub release linked on the Download page. Match the source, filename, and SHA-256 before running it. If those details or the warning details do not match, stop and verify. Treat separate Microsoft Defender or antivirus detections on their own merits.
