SmartScreen Warning

Why Windows shows a security warning and how to bypass it

When you first install Codebusted on Windows, you may see a blue screen saying "Windows protected your PC". This is Microsoft SmartScreen and it's normal for new apps.

How to install anyway

1

Click "More info" on the SmartScreen dialog

2

Click "Run anyway"

3

The installer will proceed normally

Why does this happen?

SmartScreen warns about apps that don't yet have a code signing certificate. Codebusted is safe — this warning will disappear in a future update when we add an EV code signing certificate.
