Yes, this is normal. To get rid of that popup the creator of OnTheSpot would need to pay a license to Microsoft which is pretty expensive if I remember correctly, so it's easier to just not pay it. When the smartscreen pops up, press "more info" (the small text under the main paragraph) and then "run anyways".
