# Disabling Antivirus Software

You MUST disable all antivirus software before using our loader. Antivirus programs will block and delete the files.

### Why Disable Antivirus? [​](https://guide.cheatvault.net/common-problems/disable-defender/#why-disable-antivirus)

Antivirus software falsely detects our loader as malicious and prevents installation. Our software is safe - the detection is a false positive.

### Quick Steps [​](https://guide.cheatvault.net/common-problems/disable-defender/#quick-steps)

#### 1. Uninstall Third-Party Antivirus [​](https://guide.cheatvault.net/common-problems/disable-defender/#1-uninstall-third-party-antivirus)

**Remove these if installed:**

* Kaspersky
* Avast
* Norton
* McAfee
* Bitdefender
* AVG
* Any other antivirus

**How to uninstall:**

1. Press `Windows + I` → Apps → Apps & features
2. Find your antivirus
3. Click Uninstall
4. Restart PC

#### 2. Disable Windows Defender (Permanent) [​](https://guide.cheatvault.net/common-problems/disable-defender/#2-disable-windows-defender-permanent)
