Is Foobar2K Safe?

Hi, so I'm considering downloading foobar2K but IDK if it's safe or not, if anyone can confirm if this program is safe, I will install it.

Thanks, from Alex06.  :)

No, it's completely safe. I don't know what made you thought of that.

There is a Microsoft SmartScreen warning about the installer when downloading.
But it's a known false positive.
foobar is 1000% reliable.
