Two-Step Installation Walkthrough
When running the installer for the first time, follow these steps to proceed past the SmartScreen prompt:
When Windows displays the blue "Windows protected your PC" SmartScreen dialog, click the underlined text link that reads "More info" directly below the warning text.
The dialog will expand to show App: StreamTune_Setup.exe and Publisher: Unknown publisher. Click the newly revealed "Run anyway" button at the bottom right.
Why Does Windows SmartScreen Show This?
Technical explanation of Windows publisher reputation and code signing status:
Publisher Reputation vs. Threat Detection
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen is an automated reputation filtering service built into Windows. It evaluates two primary criteria: Publisher Reputation (established through commercial Authenticode certificates over extended distribution periods) and File Reputation (telemetry across global downloads).
Why StreamTune Triggers SmartScreen
StreamTune Pro v1.2.0-beta is distributed as an unsigned binary during the beta testing phase. Because it does not carry an established Authenticode certificate, Windows has no cryptographic publisher identity to evaluate and flags the file as an unrecognized publisher by default.
Defender Antivirus Behavior
SmartScreen's blue prompt is an unknown-reputation advisory. When Microsoft Defender Antivirus detects recognized malicious signatures or severe behavioral threats, it actively alerts, blocks execution, or quarantines the file according to system policy.
