3.1 Windows Defender SmartScreen is preventing VIC.exe from running on Windows 10 Workstations
Problem
We recently updated to RecTrac 3.1.08.01.
Windows Defender SmartScreen is now preventing VIC from running and wants to delete it. When launching the VIC.exe on a Windows 10 workstation, the following message appears,'Windows Protected your PC. Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk. App: VICexe.exe. Publisher: Vermont Systems, Inc.'
Solution
As a User, click More Info and then click Run away. This will resolve the issue and allow you start the VIC.exe.
Windows Defender SmartScreen is managed in Windows under Windows Defender Security Center App & browser control.
