About security warnings for a new publisher
Precision Arrow Builder is digitally signed by Precision Arrow Builder Software, LLC. The certificate is issued by a trusted certificate authority.
Because this is a new application from a new publisher, some browsers, Microsoft SmartScreen, or antivirus software may display a caution notice when you first download or run the installer. This is expected behavior for a new signed application from a new publisher with limited reputation history. A caution notice can appear even when software is properly signed; treat the warning seriously, verify the installer using the checksum and signature guidance below, and contact support if anything looks unexpected.
You can confirm the file is what you downloaded by comparing its SHA-256 hash and verifying the Authenticode signature, as described in the Verify the installer section above. The checksum file is published alongside the installer.
Keep your security software enabled. If you see a warning, please report it to us rather than trying to work around it.
