Windows SmartScreen Warning

Why does the Windows SmartScreen Warning appear?

Windows 8 and later include a feature called SmartScreen. This feature is designed to protect users from running malicious applications.

Unfortunately, when running the Minecraft Manager Installer, you will be presented with this warning.

This reason for this warning appearing is not that the program is malicious. SmartScreen simply appears when an unknown Program is run.

To bypass this warning, click "More Info," then "Run anyway"

Mediating this problem is currently not possible at the moment. To solve it, either an expensive code signing certificate would be required, or many people would need to download Minecraft Manager in order for it to be exempt from the SmartScreen warning.
