I have a new laptop & I wish to install F H V6. When I go on the Family Historian web site to do this I get a message saying,

Re: V6 download unsafe
Microsoft have been asked to update their 'virus' signatures in both Edge and Defender, but they're taking their time.
You can ignore this and carry on.

Re: V6 download unsafe
Had exact same issue on new computer yesterday. Reported site as safe and carried on. Got FH and AS working fine, using backups and restore. Once certain as well be looking at FH v7. One change at a time.
Re: V6 download unsafe
