When I download Collect Earth for Windows and I try to run the installer I get an error saying "Windows Protected your PC" and then :
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk
Is there a problem with Collect Earth or does it pose a threat? How can I install Collect Earth desktop?

Accepted answer
From Windows 11 onward, Microsoft has introduced additional security measures that require applications to be digitally signed with a security certificate to pass Windows Defender SmartScreen checks. The Collect Earth installer is not currently signed. However, this does not mean it is unsafe; it simply requires you to manually approve the installation.
To proceed with the installation:
We are actively working on signing our installers in upcoming versions to eliminate this step. Until then, please rest assured that Collect Earth is safe to use, and you can trust its installation on your computer.
