I also get that "block", but with an option to continue anyway. but maybe it takes a couple of extra clicks on " advanced" or " more info" to bring up that option. [ I am the administrator for my own PC - maybe that makes a difference ]
I had hoped that after overriding it once I would not see another block of the same program, but last Friday's calibre update triggered the same interrupt.
Surprised also that my malwarebytes pro does not auto disable this defender thing, because it does- or used to - replace the regular defender- as -AV protection and take over that job. i think this annoyance only began with windows 1803.
there's not much else I install regularly so I have not seen it on other programs. But for the record , that same defender smart screen completely failed to detect and block the sneaky hidden install of avast within the latest CCleaner. Malwarebytes missed that also. That installs without any prompt for permissions [ see the many complaints in that programs' own forum]. You realise you've got it only after a new Avast desktop icon appears, after it has fully installed.
