Microsoft Defender SmartScreen 🙇📢

In this article I want to write about ShixxNOTE program and troubles with setup and installation of the program. Recently Microsoft Defender started to show you alert dialog with very important warning. This is something I need to explain to all users of ShixxNOTE who doesn’t know real issue. Microsoft started to block installation of "untrusted" software. They declare my program also in that basket. Why? Because they want me to pay to be on programs whitelist. So lets begin. Download ShixxNOTE 7.net newest version from program site http://www.shixxnote.com and unzip setup file in temp directory. Run setup and WOW Microsoft Defender SmartScreen shows you dialog with alert text. Also there is no button to continue with installation.

Please don’t be afraid and immediately click on "Don’t run" button. I assure you that ShixxNOTE 7.net Build 146 is secure and it doesn’t have any malicious code. You just need to click on "More info" link and voila you get "Run anyway" button. After that click on it and you can continue with program setup and installation. You can scan setup file with any Anti-virus or Anti-malware program you have.

I hope you will do that and try best desktop sticky note program and instant messenger on the net.

After that enjoy and try ShixxNOTE 7.net program for 30-days with all functionality.

Best regards,

Windows 10 “More Info” and “Run anyway” button

Again I am writing about installing ShixxNOTE 6.net Build 138 on Windows 10 and first problem which will occur. It will happen after you unzip downloaded ShixxNOTE program zip file and unzip it and then when you click on “ShixxNOTE6netT.exe” program setup file to start setup.

Immediately you will get this screen on your computer from Windows. It say that “Windows SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized application from starting…” and almost 90% of users will click on “Don’t run” button because they trust Microsoft. But if you analyze more that Windows dialog you will see link “More info”. I know that this is annoying. But if you want ShixxNOTE 6.net to run on your computer(s) you must trust me and click on “More info” link. After you click it you will get second dialog from Windows SmartScreen.

Suddenly you will see Application name, Publisher and most important button “Run anyway”which will continue setup of ShixxNOTE 6.net program. Only if you do like this you will be able to install ShixxNOTE 6.net on your computer(s). Please trust me you will not install anything malicious. Before on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 you didn’t have to do this because there was not this annoying screen.

This Windows SmartScreen dialog is appearing only on Windows 10 and because as a developer now you have to pay to Microsoft about 20 USD just to be developer and developer Windows applications. So I did it. And then I have to upload Microsoft version of package to them. But before that they scan your exe file and check if it contains some malicious code. It is OK and my “ShixxNOTE6net.exe” file pass all that. But because I develop ShixxNOTE in Visual C++ not in new one Visual Studio 2015 I am not able to create Microsoft package which only they accept if you want Windows SmartScreen not be seen when you start program setup file. I tried to compile and create release in Visual Studio 2015 from my source code of ShixxNOTE but I got about 10 errors and I can’t build stable release of VS2015 MFC application. I tried to remove those errors and I did remove about 7 of them but final 3 errors are something about manifest and how will VS20015 compile my old Visual C++ source code. Those 3 errors I couldn’t fix. I don’t know how. Because of that now all users who wants to try ShixxNOTE 6.net Trial version 30-days with full functionality must click on “hidden” link “More info” and button “Run anyway” if they want to try ShixxNOTE program

So friends till I figure how to avoid this SmartScreen dialog please click on “More info” and button “Run anyway”. I know I loose more customers because of this but Microsoft is in charge.

Kind regards,

Installing program on Windows 10

When you start ShixxNOTE setup file on Windows 10 you will get dialog below saying that "Windows protected your PC". Windows SmartScreen prevent setup to start ?! And also it scares you with this sentence "Running this app might put your PC at risk".  This is not correct. ShixxNOTE setup file is 100% safe and I can assure you that your PC will not be in any risk if you start setup file. Why Microsoft put ShixxNOTE setup file in risk group is because now they only trust recognized apps to run. Which means that app must be checked by Microsoft and be created to pass all theirs validation. This is new thing in Windows 10, before in Windows 7 or Windows XP there was nothing to scare you. If you want to install ShixxNOTE 6.net on your PC you must do the following. Check this images and read the text I wrote in green box :-)

On first dialog you have to click on "More info" link.

 

On second image you have to click on button "Run anyway" and program setup will start. After that you will have ShixxNOTE 6.net installed on your computer :-)

 

I am sorry for this but Microsoft decided that my program setup file is unrecognized. But don't worry my program is 100% safe and if any of you who installed ShixxNOTE 6.net Trial version or Registered version have some problems after installing program please write comment.

Now I am little worried because people belive Microsoft rather than me, Ozren Sirola, ShixxNOTE program author. So now I am loosing my potential customers just because users are affraid or they doesn't know that they must click on "More info" and then "Run anyway" button.

I hope this article and ShixxNOTE reputation (listed on English Wikipedia) will assure you that program is perfectly safe.
