Fing.app considered as malicious software


OS: macOS 10.14.6
Hi,
when launching the Fing desktop application, I get a warning saying: "Fing.app can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software \n This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information". Pressing the OK button from the warning popup window makes the application to close. While keeping the warning popup window, Fing is started and can be used but again pressing the OK button will close the application. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks.

Can you try to download a new file from the link: https://www.fing.com/products/fing-desktop
and then move the package to the Desktop and then hold Control and click the file to launch the installer. When the message appears, click Continue.
Also, if the issue persists, can you confirm what kind of administrative rights do you have on the system? Thanks
