This software is provided as freeware and has not been digitally signed.
I have chosen not to purchase a digital certificate due to the high annual cost, which would compromise the software's free status.
As a result, when you run the installer, your operating system will display a security warning indicating the application is from an 'Unknown Publisher'.
This is a standard notification for all unsigned software and does not mean that the file is unsafe.
I can assure you that great care has been taken to ensure that the software is virus-free, including scanning it with multiple virus scanners prior to release.
To proceed with the installation, click 'More info' or 'Keep'
on the warning screen, then select 'Run anyway' or 'Install anyway'.
