After downloading the windows installer of OpenPHT 1.5.0 (using the link in the pinned post), trying to run it shows a red warning box that says: “This file has been associated with suspicious activity.” Any idea why that got flagged?
It uses a free/open source installer program.
The bad boys can’t be prevented from using that too for their own nefarious purposes.
That way, perfectly benign software tools get flagged as malicious by ignorant anti virus software.
Just tell Windows Defender to let it execute. It’s a false alarm.
I just tested on win 10 and am getting a similar message, however this is flagged under the known issues on github:
Known Issues
•Windows SmartScreen could block the installer, use the Run anyway option to install
