Why the warning appears

Microsoft requires a paid certificate to skip this. We're working on it. For now, you can verify the file yourself or use the web viewer — no install needed.

Alternative: web viewer

Open AdvDesk in any browser — no install, no SmartScreen. Best for one-off connections from a borrowed PC.
