New Chirp Download chirp-daily-20170510-installer

[ermin]

Hello All

Just tried to update Chirp on my windows 10 machine and for the first time in the many years I have been using the great Chirp software Windows 10 gives my the following error message

"Windows protected your PC
Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.

App:
chirp-daily-20170510-installer.exe
Publisher:*
Unknown publisher "

When I use the last update "chirp-daily-20170420-installer" it runs without any problem. But today's always does.... Any idea what is going on? Anyone else having this problem?

In general, SmartScreen Protection shows the above message when you try to run a newly released program or an application that has not yet established a reputation. The goal of the Application Reputation experience is to warn users, when appropriate, that a downloaded application has not yet established a reputation.

Reputation is established by SmartScreen® service intelligence algorithms based on how an application is used by Windows and Internet Explorer users. Reputation may be based on the downloaded application or can also be assigned to the publisher based on digital certificate information.

Basically, the program hasn't been out long enough and is used by very few people so Windows will warn you that it is an unknown program and is possibly malicious.

I'm told Norton will do the same thing.

False positive, basically.
