Windows or my antivirus warns about HeavyPro
"Windows protected your PC" and antivirus warnings: why they appear and how to check your download.
"Windows protected your PC"
Windows SmartScreen shows this for programs it hasn't seen often yet. Click More info, then Run anyway.
Check that your download is genuine
Each installer on rotaidem.com has a SHA256 checksum next to it: the same address with .sha256 at the end (for example HeavyProSetup.exe.sha256). To compare, open PowerShell where you saved the file and run:
Get-FileHash .\HeavyProSetup.exe -Algorithm SHA256
The long number must match the one in the .sha256 file. RotaHub does this check for you on every install and update, and refuses a package that doesn't match.
Antivirus
HeavyPro talks to Microsoft Flight Simulator through SimConnect and reads your joystick, which some antivirus programs find suspicious. If yours blocks it, add an exception for HeavyPro's folder, and only for a download whose checksum matches.
Warning: only download HeavyPro from rotaidem.com or RotaHub. Copies from anywhere else are not ours.
