Is SMAPI safe?

[CDoggy]

When I tried to install SMAPI on Windows I got a message that said "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.". Will SMAPI cause problems to my PC?

Smapi is completely safe, unless you are downloading it from a weird source

Thank You!

From what I understand, that error just means they didn't sign their code with a "Microsoft™ approved™™" code signing certificate I generally ignore it and assume it's just a racket, i.e. a way for Microsoft to get more money out of developers than they would if the developers bought a certificate from someone else.
I normally just check for a checksum on the website I'm downloading from, and compare checksums with other people.

... On that note, since no checksum is provided on the site, could someone else (*rimshot*) provide a checksum, ideally SHA-256, of the 3.18.6 installer's zip file? Would make me feel better about it, just in case :-)
