Is the installer safe? Windows Defender blocked it.
Our installers are digitally signed. New releases may trigger SmartScreen until reputation builds — choose "More info" then "Run anyway" if you downloaded from kwtlabs.com. Never install from third-party mirrors.

How do I verify my download is authentic?
Compare the SHA-256 checksum on our Checksums page with your downloaded file. On Windows, run certutil -hashfile filename.exe SHA256 in Command Prompt. The hash must match exactly.
