Hi there.
sorry if this has already been answered. I'm just computer savy enough to get myself into trouble so wanted to ask before downloading.
When I tried to download Team Talk, my antivirus smart screen filter identified it as potentially harmful. I know lots of folks on here use TT so I was just wondering what about it would have caused this? I want to start using voice chat but don't want to crash my new computer.

Some AV software will judge just about any Exe file as a potential threat. As long as you downloaded it from the official site, and not from any other third party website, you should be fine.

Cool. Thanks. I'm going to DL it on my laptop, mainly because it's sitting right here with me and my main computer is upstairs. God forbid I walk all the way upstairs. lol
Seriously though, thanks for the response.

No problem. I'd say as a general rule, any official sites can be trusted. It's some of the torrents, and/or the people who post random links to software on a third party site that you'll want to watch out for.
