When installing v0.2.8 on Windows you get the following warning:

Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.

Thanks for reporting, I'll look into this bug soon. In the meantime, you can click more info and click Run anyway

Thanks for the update. No worries, I just wanted to let you know. Also, I'm wondering why the app needs access through the Windows Defender firewall on first run?

I think it's because I don't have an EV Certificate. A similar problem can be found here: electron-userland/electron-builder#1936
