TARKOVQUESTIE INSTALLATION GUIDE
=================================

Thank you for purchasing TarkovQuestie Premium!

IMPORTANT: WINDOWS SECURITY NOTICE
----------------------------------
When you first run TarkovQuestie.exe, Windows Defender SmartScreen will show 
a warning. This is NORMAL for new software from independent developers.

HOW TO INSTALL:
--------------
1. When you see "Windows protected your PC":
   - Click "More info"
   - Click "Run anyway"

2. The app will then start normally.

3. For future launches, Windows won't show this warning again.

WHY THIS HAPPENS:
----------------
- Code signing certificates cost $300+ per year
- As an indie developer, I invest that money in development
- Over time, Windows will learn to trust the app

ALTERNATIVE METHOD - Add to Windows Defender Exclusion:
------------------------------------------------------
1. Open Windows Security (Windows Key + I → Update & Security → Windows Security)
2. Click "Virus & threat protection"
3. Under "Virus & threat protection settings", click "Manage settings"
4. Scroll down to "Exclusions" and click "Add or remove exclusions"
5. Click "Add an exclusion" → "File"
6. Navigate to TarkovQuestie.exe and select it
