Running this app might put your PC at risk." The error message in Windows 10 informs you that "Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognised app from starting. Windows Defender SmartScreen springs into life when you try to install an unknown piece of software from an unrecognised source, and sometimes challenges programs from smaller, lesser-known developers. I sometimes think there are few problems that AutoHotkey cannot solve.If uploading a suspicious file sounds like too much hassle, the free program Winja (opens in new tab) provides an easy-to-use front end for VirusTotal that lets you use it like any standard antivirus scanner. (It could have been a separate physical machine, but since we had the Mini anyway and it had the capacity, it was convenient to have it do both the Mac builds and the Windows code signing.) There wasn't any RDP issue because we didn't use RDP, just a Windows VM that didn't need any user intervention. To automate this, I wrote a little AutoHotkey script that watched for the password dialog and entered the password. Unfortunately it required a password to be manually entered each time the code was signed. We had a Digicert code signing certificate that used a hardware key connected to the Windows VM. (The actual Windows builds ran in the cloud and we sent them down to the Windows VM for signing and then it sent them back up to the cloud.) I set up a Mac Mini at the office to do the Mac builds, and it also ran a Windows VM under Parallels to do the Windows code signing. Back in 2014 I was working at AltspaceVR (a social virtual reality startup) and we had Mac and Windows versions of the product.
