 ## Note for Windows
 
 Possibly due to Ferron on Windows not being digitally signed, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may warn you against running the Ferron executable.
 
-If you don't trust the pre-built Ferron executables, you can always either verify the checksums (you can [download the checksums](https://dl.ferron.sh/2.4.0/ferron-2.4.0.sha256sum)), or compile Ferron yourself (from [our repository](https://github.com/ferronweb/ferron)).
