About Windows SmartScreen Warnings
----------------------------------
Microsoft Windows uses SmartScreen to protect users from potentially harmful 
software. When you download software from independent developers like myself, 
Windows doesn't immediately recognize it as safe.

Is TarkovQuestie Safe?
----------------------
YES. TarkovQuestie is completely safe software that:
- Contains no malware, viruses, or harmful code
- Does not collect personal information
- Only connects to the internet for map updates and license validation

Building Trust Over Time
-----------------------
As more users install and use TarkovQuestie, Windows SmartScreen will learn 
that it's safe software. This process typically takes:
- 100+ downloads to reduce warnings
- 500+ downloads to eliminate most warnings
- Regular use by the community

Your Role in Building Trust
---------------------------
- Report the software as safe if Windows Defender asks
- Don't disable your antivirus - just add an exception for TarkovQuestie.exe
- Share your positive experience with other users
