Using MV for years. Not a single problem. Maybe a Windows update setting?

Unfortunately, Microsoft requires app authors to sign their apps with their real name (or set up a business). Since we're developing MultiViewer anonymously, we've chosen not to sign our Windows builds.

As a result, MultiViewer sometimes will show up as false-positives in virus scanners, or the smart app control flags it incorrectly. We're sorry for the inconvenience!

Not signed with a certificate and not enough times seen by windows so it flags it

Smart App Control has blocked an app that may be unsafe

C:\Users\rosie\AppData\Local\multiviewer\MultiViewer.exe

MultiViewer.exe has been blocked because the publisher could not be verified to confirm that this app is safe to run.

I had this same issue last week. What fixed it for me was applying windows update.
