Windows Defender

Windows Defender Keeps identifying Twilight render Hobby as some kind of malware "unrecognized" potentially dangerous.

How come?

Is it the "Windows protected your PC" screen? If so, that's what Windows displays for every unsigned application. It does not indicate there is a problem at all.

If you mean something else, please post a screen shot. I just downloaded the latest Hobby release and scanned it with Windows Defender and there were no problems at all.

When it says "Windows Defencer protected your computer" you can find a tiny message at the bottom of the dialog/window that says "ignore" or "details" or "more" something like this, and still install the program.
We have many hundreds of thousands of users of Twilight, and there is no way our official downloaded program would harm your machine in any way - this would not help us at all. :^:
