SmartScreen may also do this. Don't worry; this is safe to download and use. > > This AV solution flags this program because it lacks code-signing certificates, which are quite expensive (as of January 2025, 660 and 864 dollars for 3 years of SV and EV certificates, respectively, from [Comodo](https://comodosslstore.com/codesigning.aspx)). > > If you use other antivirus solutions, you will not see this problem.
