We will keep our regular (normal) code signing certificate then rather then buying an EV-certificate. -- Best regards, Maxim Masiutin Current beta is 8.5.4.4 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Maxim, I received no such warning. I saw smartscreen.exe launch (in processes), then evaporate, which is normal behavior. All was really terribly "normal." -- Best regards, Curt Akin using TheBat! 8.5.6 under Windows 10.0 Build 17074 with HughesNet Gen5 satellite Internet.

I have found out that if a developer has a standard code signing certificate, some time will be needed for the application to build "trust" with the SmartScreen. Microsoft affirms that an Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing Certificate allows to skip this period of trust building. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ie/2012/08/14/microsoft-smartscreen-extended-validation-ev-code-signing-certificates/ According to the information from the link, extended validation certificates allow the developer to immediately establish reputation with SmartScreen.
