We understand that you are receiving an error associated with Smart Screen when you are attempting to download or install a program.

Please locate the "^" button at the bottom right. Left click it. Locate the Windows Defender Shield icon. It should have a green checkmark on it, or perhaps a yellow triangle.

Right click it, and select " View Security Dashboard"

Left click on "App and Browser Control"

Locate the following :

* Check Apps and Files

* Smart Screen for Microsoft Edge

* Smart Screen for Windows Store Apps

Under each category, put a dot on "Off"

Exit the Security Dash Board.

Attempt to download the installer file again. You will be able to install your program.
