Did you follow the link that was shown in the error ?  
Security problem.

How did you try to start node-red ?  
What commandline ?  
Powershell ?  
Does it have admin rights ?

In powershell (admin) you can enter

```auto
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

```

and retry. Note that this changes a security parameter on your system.
