[Important] Microsoft Defender SmartScreen Warning When Installing ExcelTL

Thank you for using ExcelTL

Since January 25, 2021, Microsoft has updated the Microsoft Defender SmartScreen security feature. As a result, even software that is properly signed with a valid code signing certificate may display a warning screen when executed in certain environments.

Our installer ExcelTL_Installer.exe may also be affected by this mechanism. To ensure security, our software is digitally signed with a trusted certificate issued by GlobalSign, one of the world's leading security solution providers. The following instructions will explain the situation and guide you on how to verify the file.

About the SmartScreen Warning

When downloading or running a newly signed application (especially one signed with a new intermediate CA certificate), SmartScreen may not yet have sufficient reputation information. In such cases, the following warning screen may appear:

A screen with the message "Windows protected your PC" appears.

For Your Safety

If SmartScreen displays a warning but you have confirmed that the publisher is our company, the file is legitimate and safe to install.

Never install unsigned software or any files where the publisher cannot be confirmed.
