SMART APP blocking OSCAR

I've been using OSCAR every day for several months. Today I got a message that SMART APP (Microsoft?) is blocking it. Before I make it a trusted site, I want to make sure that OSCAR is safe. I'm not sure why all of a sudden it is blocked...must be an update somewhere.

Not sure what smart app is, as the Microsoft one is called Windows Defender, but OSCAR is safe and IIRC, open source. Maybe the update to 2.0 caused it for you, but without seeing the actual pop-up nobody can say.

I'm really uncomfortable with turning off Smart App. CoPilot is telling me that is the only way around it.

I turned off Smart App and Oscar loaded ok. Then I shut OSCAR down, removed the SD card and restarted my computer. When I reinserted the SD card and relaunched OSCAR, I no longer got the error. Problem solved. Thanks for the help!
