Editing Installing The Mod Loader (section)

=== Windows Virus Warning ===
When downloading the Mod Loader, Windows Security may incorrectly flag it as a threat.
This is a false positive.

The reason for this is that the Mod Loader is a '''custom, unsigned executable'''.
Unsigned applications are not registered with Microsoft, and by default, Windows treats any program that moves or modifies files — as the Mod Loader must — as potentially risky. This is standard behavior for any unsigned third-party tool.

If you are uncomfortable bypassing this warning, you may manually install mods by following [[How To Install Mods|this guide]].[[File:Allow.png|left|thumb]][[File:Windows Protection.png|thumb|236x236px]]

To allow the download:

Open ''Windows Security'' (press the '''Windows key''' and search for "Windows Security").
Navigate to '''Protection History'''.
Locate the blocked or quarantined item that resembles the image above.
Expand the entry and verify that it references '''SM2_Mod_Loader.zip'''.
Click '''Actions''', then select '''Allow'''.
Restart the download.
