Why this warning appears: SlideScope is not yet code-signed by Apple or Microsoft, so first-launch warnings are expected right now. The app is safe to open, and detailed steps are below. View install help

Install Help

If your computer blocks SlideScope on first launch, use the steps below. This usually only needs to be done once.

Bypass SmartScreen

  1. Download and open the SlideScope installer.
  2. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info.
  3. Click Run anyway.
  4. Finish the install and launch SlideScope normally after that.

Microsoft shows this warning because the app is not code-signed yet, so it appears as an unknown publisher at first.

  1. Open the DMG and drag SlideScope into Applications.
  2. In Finder, open the Applications folder.
  3. Control-click SlideScope and choose Open.
  4. Click Open again in the Apple prompt.
