Windows Smartscreen uses a reputation-based system that is extremely disadvantageous to small developers, and there isn't really a ton Toby can do about the software itself until enough people manually bypass the Smartscreen blocking menu (which tells some MS cert reputation server), to pass some unknown threshold.
As for the uninstallation bug, Fox says he made the executable using game maker's executable making wizard, so the problem I would argue is with Game Maker itself unfortunately.

Here's a pretty good overview of the problem.
