  1. Windows won't let me install an app


    I have windows 10. I'm trying to install an app and when I click on the install file I get a big red box that says "Malicious file" and then "this application may cause damage to your device. Sensitive personal data may also be at risk. More info.


    I select "More Info" and it shows the app file name and publisher and says "Ignore Windows malware warning and run anyway. I click on "run anyway" but I can't tell that anything happens. If I click on the install file again, to try again to install it, nothing happens. It's like the file has been deactivated.


    I have Norton and Hitman and I've added the file to the exclusion list for them so I don't think they're causing a problem.

    :)
