Unsigned pilot and antivirus-warning disclosure

1. Unsigned pilot status

Current public WVISA packages are not yet code-signed with a commercial code-signing certificate. Windows SmartScreen, Microsoft Defender, Norton, and other security products may warn, quarantine, or block the package because the file has low reputation, uses PowerShell, or performs security-assessment activity.

WVISA does not claim Microsoft, Norton, antivirus-vendor, Stripe, Cloudflare, or third-party endorsement, certification, or approval. Third-party product names are used only to describe compatibility, customer workflow, or security-warning behavior.

2. What to verify before running WVISA

• Use only the paid WVISA success page reached from Stripe checkout or an official WVISA support link.
• Confirm the package filename, version, tier, and SHA-256 hash shown on the success page.
• Run Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 against the downloaded ZIP and compare the result exactly.
• Extract the ZIP first, then run Start-WVISA.cmd from the extracted folder.
• Do not run WVISA from email attachments, forwarded links, public file shares, or packages with a mismatched hash.

3. If antivirus or browser security blocks WVISA

Do not disable browser, Windows, antivirus, EDR, or endpoint protection solely to bypass a warning. If a security product flags WVISA, leave the alert in place, verify the hash and source, and contact WVISA support with the alert name, package filename, tier, and hash. WVISA may provide review guidance, an updated package, an alternate delivery method, or a refund where the published refund policy applies.

4. Authorized use only

Customers may use WVISA only on devices, accounts, networks, and data they own or are explicitly authorized to assess. WVISA is not permission to scan or review third-party systems. Customers are responsible for obtaining authorization from employers, clients, household members, device owners, network owners, or service providers before use.

5. No guarantee of protection

WVISA is a point-in-time assessment and guidance tool. It can reduce risk and help identify security work, but it does not guarantee protection, breach prevention, malware removal, legal compliance, insurance coverage, or that every vulnerability or compromise will be found.

6. Payment, tax, and business records

WVISA uses third-party payment processing for checkout, receipts, payment records, and related billing metadata. Taxes, fees, refunds, and payment obligations may vary by location and transaction type. Customers remain responsible for their own tax and accounting obligations, and WVISA will maintain appropriate business and payment records for its own compliance. This notice is not tax, legal, or accounting advice.
