This is FYI, and for anyone else who is confronted with the SmartScreen popup after a download.

I've always found that I have to download the ePUBTools Add-on directly via a Firefox browser right-click->Save Link as..., or the equivalent in Chrome or Edge. For almost everything else (certainly all software) I download using Free Download Manager (FDM).
The problem is that FDM doesn't 'pick-up' the file name, it gets something like "0B8GR-_MbeemrSkVGejdnX1Q3SHc" rather than "ePUBTools_1.14.0-setup.msi". Even if I accept that name or I correct it manually, the downloaded file is garbage. Hence I revert to the browser's d/l.
Maybe I could tweak the FDM settings to make it work with your add-on downloads, but that might throw something else off kilter. I use FDM for up to 30 daily jobs and I've been using it since pre XP days, so changing to another download manager is not an option for me.
I suspect the SmartScreen popup might be something to do with Google Docs. I don't get the problem with downloads from Google Drive, they work fine with FDM and SmartScreen doesn't poke its oar in.
Microsoft's thinking might be -- downloading an MSI from a document file locker is a bit weird, so let's verify that the user actually knows what they're doing via SmartScreen.
