  2. When you run the application for the first time, Windows may show a "Windows protected your PC" screen.
  3. Click "More info".
  4. You will now see the publisher name: "VirtuCath, LLC".
  5. Click the "Run anyway" button to proceed.
Windows Defender SmartScreen Instructions

The Windows Defender SmartScreen message is shown for new applications that have not yet built a trusted reputation. By running the application, you help establish its reputation with Microsoft, which will prevent this warning from appearing for future users.

For additional peace of mind, the installer has been submitted to VirusTotal, a service that analyzes files for malware using over 70 antivirus scanners. You can view the full, clean report here.
