    When I try to download Jamulus Microsoft Edge says "Jamulus-3.5.8-installer.exe was blocked because it could harm your device"; then, having bypassed that, Windows Defender says much the same.
    And it's not just me: everyone in the choir, with different browsers and different security software, has the same problem. Some of us are more cavalier than others but some are refusing to install it so this could be a show-stopper.

      Hi Steve - Jamuls is a free software project run by volunteers for over 15 years. We cannot pay for a Microsoft installer certificate, so Windows (and Mac) will flag it as potentially unsafe. This is the case for many other such projects on the Internet.

      If you do not trust us, you should not install it. But I would point out that hundreds of thousands of people have downloaded it, and the code is availabe for anyone to inspect.
