Antivirus and Windows SmartScreen

Antivirus and false positives #

Some antivirus or endpoint protection tools may flag newly distributed desktop applications conservatively.

If your security software blocks the installer or executable:

  • Verify that you downloaded the file from scrizen.com.
  • Review any security message carefully before allowing execution.
  • If appropriate in your environment, ask IT or security staff to review the file.
  • Contact support if you believe the detection is a false positive.

Windows SmartScreen #

In rare instances, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may display a precautionary prompt before launching the installer. This is a standard automated security measure for new desktop software before it builds a long distribution history in Microsoft’s systems..

How to proceed safely:

  • On the blue SmartScreen popup, click More info.
  • Verify that the file came directly from https://scrizen.com/.
  • Click Run anyway if you trust the source and intend to continue.
