Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/865

Setup is blocked by Windows Defender SmartScreen
The setup executable is not signed and this triggers the Windows Defender SmartScreen when running.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Just download the setup executable for windows and run it.

Expected behavior
Since this is a productivity tool that can be used in environments with strict security policies (e.g. IT departments),
the installer should be signed with a certificate published by a trusted authority.

OS: Windows
Barrier version 2.3.3

@shymega commented on GitHub (Sep 6, 2020):

Unfortunately, as we have very little - if at all - funding coming in, we would have to pay out of our own pockets to sign the Barrier executables, this is not possible at the moment.

The same goes for macOS executables signatures.

I realise this isn't the news you wanted.
