Hi. My name is Adrian, and I’m one of the founders at OpenCandy and was involved with the design of the OpenCandy software, system, and policies.

Microsoft’s security products, including Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender, recommend that you take the action of “allow” if you trust the software developer behind the software. You can dismiss the alert and continue to use the great software you downloaded by performing the following steps:

  1. Select the “Allow” option in the “Action” drop-down menu
  2. Click the “Apply actions” button

You will not see the alert again, you can continue to freely use the software you downloaded, and your computer remains safe and secure.
