I receive the following message from Windows Defender on trying to download and install fah-installer_7.6.8_x86.exe:
This app might harm your device
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen reported that this app is not commonly downloaded or is not signed by its publisher.

Name: fah-installer_7.6.8_x86.exe
Publisher: US, 94305, CA, Stanford, 450 Serra Mall, Stanford UNIVERSITY, Stanford UNIVERSITY

I have Windows 10 v1909.

You can just clic on "More information", or something like that, and authorize the installation.
BUT only if you downloaded it from https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/

I believe this links with viewtopic.php?f=106&t=34435

As more people authorize the installer the Defender system will slowly update it's confidence in the program.

All new software releases run into this issue.
