Windows may pause the first run

Windows is cautious with new apps. Fair. We are new. Microsoft SmartScreen may call CableBox 2 an unrecognized app because AtomEons is a new independent publisher. That is a download-reputation warning, not a malware detection.

Choose More info → Run anyway only when the filename and SHA-256 match this release.

If Windows says Threat detected or quarantines the file, stop and contact a.mccree@gmail.com. That is a different warning.
