Bug Description

Not necessarily a bug, but Windows gets all bent out of shape about security when trying to install the application. I received multiple alerts when trying to download the executable and had to convince my browser that I really wanted to download it. Then Windows went out of its way to dissuade me from installing it because it wasn't sure if it was safe. Not sure if signing the executable with a certificate might solve the problem. I bring this up because one person on Reddit mentioned that they passed on installing the software when they got the warnings. I was hesitant myself but poked around on some download sites to confirm it was a legit download.
