Sheeshhh.... Please note that SmartScreen blocking application installs has nothing to do with whether or not the software is harmful. It is reputation based so if enough people install the program overriding SmartScreen, you will no longer see the block message.
See Windows Defender SmartScreen for more information, perhaps paying special attention to the line: Checking downloaded files against a list of files that are well known and downloaded by many Windows users. If the file isn't on that list, SmartScreen shows a warning, advising caution. |

Pretty sure there's an opt-out check box somewhere in the CCleaner Install, just like there is with Adobe Acrobat offer to install McAfee's AV. MWB is pretty good at detecting Open Candy and similar sneaky install tricks, which is one of the reasons I use it alongside MS Defender. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 07-24-2018 at 07:04 PM. |

To people advising others to turn off SmartScreen, I, at least, can't, because Enterprise group policy. However, if you are a local admin, the elevated command prompt will still work. |

Personally, I find needing to allow the install each time calibre is updated a bit annoying but not to the point that I am going to worry about it. |
