Ask HN: How to you go past Windows Defender SmartScreen?

3 pointsby lacostejover 7 years ago
We are about to distribute a Windows client from our web site, for potential users to test our upcoming solution. The code signed application still triggers Windows Smart Defender into displaying a scary warning.<p>I am trying to find a way to get rid of this. I have been trying to solve this problem for a couple of weeks. I can&#x27;t believe we are the first one to face that.<p>Details:<p><pre><code> * app is built (using Unity) as a standard Windows exe. * it&#x27;s a demo so publishing to the store might not be suitable. * we have deployed apps on the Windows Store before but I am not sure how that can help our reputation * more details: I posted on Unity forums as well: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forum.unity.com&#x2F;threads&#x2F;taming-windows-smart-defender-for-standard-windows-standalone-apps.510568&#x2F; </code></pre> Here are the ideas I am looking at right now:<p><pre><code> * Getting it to work as is * Windows Logo submission after passing the WACK &#x2F; Windows 10 test. Can it? * special trick &#x2F; help by MS? * getting all my friends to install it in hope that it helps * asking help around? * convert app to Windows 10 * use a wrapper * make a unity UWP version * Abandon Windows, make a WebGL version * Ignore it, and see how it goes... </code></pre> Any tip?
