Troubleshooting
Windows Displays an Installation or Security Warning
Do not disable antivirus, SmartScreen, or other Windows security protections. Confirm the installer source and publisher before proceeding.
What problem does this solve?
Windows or security software warns about the installer.
Quick answer
Treat the warning as a reason to verify the publisher and download source. Do not turn off Windows security to continue.
Steps
- Stop before running the file and check the link against the approved Market Watch 360 distribution channel.
- Read the publisher and signature information Windows shows, if available.
- Record the exact warning and installer filename for support.
- Proceed only after the owner confirms the file and release are authentic.
What you should see
An installer is assessed through its source and publisher, not by bypassing a warning.
If it still doesn't work
If authenticity cannot be confirmed, delete the untrusted download through normal Windows controls and request the approved installer location.
