Windows says "Windows protected your PC". Is Korva safe?

Windows SmartScreen shows a blue Windows protected your PC screen for programs it doesn’t know yet. Korva’s installer from our site isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows can’t tell who made it and shows this screen. It doesn’t mean Windows found anything wrong in the file.

Get past the screen

1. On the blue screen, click More info. It’s a small link under the text.
2. The screen now shows the file name and a Run anyway button. Click Run anyway.
3. The installer starts. Follow its steps.

Or install from the Microsoft Store (no warning)

The Microsoft Store version is the same Korva. Windows doesn’t show SmartScreen for it, and the Store installs updates for you.

1. Go to the download page and click the Microsoft Store badge, or search for Korva in the Microsoft Store app.
2. Click Get (or Install).

Check the file before you run it

If you want to be sure the installer is the one we published:

1. On the download page, find the Installer (.exe) card and click Copy next to SHA-256.
2. Open PowerShell in your Downloads folder and run certutil -hashfile followed by the installer’s file name and SHA256. For example: certutil -hashfile Korva_1.9.6_x64-setup.exe SHA256
3. Compare the long number it prints with the one you copied. If they’re the same, the file arrived intact and unchanged.
