Because Software Forge is an independent, open-source project, we cannot afford the high annual cost of a commercial Code Signing Certificate. As a result, Windows SmartScreen may flag these downloads as being from an “Unknown Publisher.”
To guarantee that your files are safe, authentic, and have not been modified or corrupted, you can verify them manually using PowerShell:
Get-FileHash .\YourDownloadedFile.paf.exe -Algorithm SHA256
The app’s checksum when it was compiled is:
77a6c234276c64acaa1d2077c7ca5f24104b28d574ef23e98735e3997be9257cIf your PowerShell output matches this hash exactly, your file is 100% safe, authentic, and untampered with!
⚠️ Important: If the checksums do not match, do not run the executable. It means the download was corrupted or modified. Please delete the file immediately and post a comment on our forums to let us know so we can investigate right away!
