When you try to run Yawcam's installation file, you might get an error message that says "Windows protected your PC".
You can still install Yawcam if this happens by following these steps:
1) Click on "More info":
2) Check that the app is indeed the Yawcam installation file.
The ordinary release have an installation file named: yawcam_install.exe
The beta versions have an installation file named: yawcam_BETA_yyyy-mm-dd.exe (where yyyy-mm-dd is the release date)
3) Click on "Run anyway"

Compare MD5 checksum
To make sure that the downloaded file is the correct Yawcam installation file, you can compare the file's checksum with the checksum published on Yawcam's download page.
1) Open a command prompt
2) Run the following command on the file:
"certutil -hashfile yawcam_install.exe MD5"
3) Compare the MD5 checksum from the command output with the MD5 checksum published on the download page.
Both checksums are marked with a red underline in the example screenshots below.
4) Every version will have a unique checksum.
