I immediately disabled the wretched thing, and installed Zebedee 
while it was off, but on re-activation it didn't warn me neither when 
trying to run zebedee.exe nor double-clicking a .zbd file. It's 
obvious that a program listening on local network ports and 
forwarding them to God knows where poses no threat at all, while the 
Microsoft Defragmenter (for example) is a dangerous program that must 
be confirmed at all times (especially since the latter is scheduled 
to run anyway every Wednesday).

I owe you a beer or ten, it's a fantastic little program. It has 
never ever crashed on me, for one thing.
