Hi Andrew,
Some friends were having either the same problem you describe, or something
very similar some time ago, so I did a bit of Googling then, and came up
with the following information which may be of use to you now.
At the time I googled turning off smart Screen filter, and came up with the
following link:
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/bypass-smartscreen-filter-ie-edge
Admittedly it doesn't directly talk about turning the feature off, but it
does suggest a way to bypass it if you know the download is safe, so may be
of help
