Well, I did the same after you asked, but in my case, the signature is valid.
The only suggestion I can give you is to delete the "suspicious" file and download it again. |

It's very strange, just tested myself downloading the installer and its certificate is valid.
Have you downloaded it from here or from another site? |

There's also a button I posted in the Start Button section and a skin suite on the same theme, if you know/use Rainmeter. |

"Windows+R", type "shell:common startup" and then copy the link (for all users).
