I have found out that if a developer has a standard code signing certificate, some time will be needed for the application to build "trust" with the SmartScreen. Microsoft affirms that an Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing Certificate allows to skip this period of trust building. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ie/2012/08/14/microsoft-smartscreen-extended-validation-ev-code-signing-certificates/ According to the information from the link, extended validation certificates allow the developer to immediately establish reputation with SmartScreen. Otherwise, the users will see a warning like "Windows Defender Smartscreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.", with the two buttons: "Run anyway" and "Don't run". https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vsnetsetup/2013/01/09/windows-smartscreen-prevented-an-unrecognized-app-from-running-running-this-app-might-put-your-pc-at-risk/ Another Microsoft resource from the second link (above) states the following (quote): "Although not required, programs signed by an EV code signing certificate can immediately establish reputation with SmartScreen reputation services even if no prior reputation exists for that file or publisher. EV code signing certificates also have a unique identifier which makes it easier to maintain reputation across certificate renewals." My question is how long does it take for The Bat! new MSI files to build "trust" with the Smartscreen? -- Best regards, Maxim Masiutin ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 8.5.4.4 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
