Problem of “Windows SmartScreen is not used.”

When I tried to install the latest version of Burp professional ver.2021_8_1, the Error massage blow appears. “Windows SmartScreen is not used.” Is there any problem to install it? I am trouble with opening Burp professional and I need to complete the web application check today. Fast reply would be appreciated. Regards, Shuji Ikeda

Hi Shuji, Do you have the ability to circumvent the message that you are seeing and run the Burp installation file (SmartScreen is a Windows feature that protects against potential malware so how this is operating on your machine is really down to you and your system administrators)?
