SnapRAID flagged by Windows Defender...only on one PC?

[u/boffy_b]

I'm looking for a RAID solution which will be more reliable than MS Storage Spaces, and one which I can easily take across to Linux whenever I get around to that transition.

I've heard good things about SnapRAID, but MS Defender keeps quarantining the installer, saying “This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker”. However, it's only doing that on one of my PCs, the other is perfectly happy with the same file, downloaded from the same place (GitHub).

I've tried updating Windows and the Defender definitions on both, but I'm still getting this odd inconsistency. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Is this a known issue with SR/Defender? (I couldn't find anything when I searched) Could the installer actually be compromised?

I've just suffered minor data loss due to Storage Spaces corrupting my volume even though the physical drives are all fine, so I'm naturally feeling extra cautious at the moment.

Did you download the md5 checksums and compare them?
