No worries. Now you've mentioned it I can see in their forums it is an ongoing issue with Defender specifically.

I'm very much averse to trusting the supplier of an installer enough to disable security checks, especially for a development toolkit where on the remote chance it is real it propagates into what I build on that toolchain, so I'll probably revisit at a later date.

As a fan of Modula-2 and Pascal I've always found the look of the Nim syntax appealing, so I'm quite looking forward to another way of coding cross-platform desktop apps (I avoid Electron and Mono, which usually leaves Lazarus) and your post reads quite interesting in that regard.
