Heads-up: Windows SmartScreen & Antivirus Warnings

The FrankenCoder installer is digitally signed with an Extended Validation (EV) code-signing certificate issued to CeardTech LLC. However, because this is a brand-new certificate with a brand-new product, Windows SmartScreen and some antivirus tools may temporarily flag the installer until enough users have run it for Microsoft and AV vendors to build a reputation score. This is normal for any newly signed application and is a known limitation of reputation-based filtering — it is not an indicator that the software is unsafe.

Independently verified clean. The installer has been submitted to VirusTotal, which runs the file against 68+ antivirus engines in parallel:

If Windows SmartScreen blocks the installer:

1. On the “Windows protected your PC” dialog, click More info.
2. Verify the publisher line reads CeardTech LLC.
3. Click Run anyway to proceed with the install.

If your antivirus flags or quarantines the installer: add an exclusion for the downloaded file (or its install directory after extraction), or submit the file to your AV vendor as a false positive. Once a few users have run the signed installer cleanly, SmartScreen and most reputation-based AV engines will stop warning automatically.

The VirusTotal report above is tied to the SHA-256 hash of the currently published installer. If you download a future updated build, a fresh scan will be published and linked here.
