Seeing a warning when you download?
SIM See is new, so it has few downloads so far and no code signature yet. Browsers and Windows may show a caution warning. It doesn't mean the file has a virus.
- Chrome — If you see 'Suspicious file', click Download suspicious file. If the warning stays in the download list, choose Keep from the menu next to the file.
- Edge — In the download list, click … next to the file → Keep, and if asked again, Keep anyway.
- Windows — If 'Windows protected your PC' appears when you open the installer, click More info → Run anyway.
🔒 Only download the installer from this site (ineedimg.com). Copies posted elsewhere may have been changed.

How do I make it my default image viewer?
