# Warning About False Positives
2+
3+
> tldr; sometimes, crappy antivirus programs call ClickFix a virus. It isn't.
4+
5+
Because ClickFix needs to monitor clicks and decide which ones to allow through
6+
to the underlying system, sometimes poorly made antivirus software will flag it
7+
as malicious. This diagnosis is a **false positive.** As long as you downloaded
8+
the ClickFix.exe program through a secure connection to the [main site][main] or
9+
from the [Github releases page][releases] then its integrity is ensured.
10+
11+
The full source of ClickFix is uploaded to *this* Github repository. If you
12+
would like to verify that the code behind the program is not dangerous, read
13+
through [the main script][script] or compile it yourself with [AutoHotKey][ahk].
14+
15+
If you are having trouble with ClickFix being blocked by antivirus software, add
16+
an exception for the ClickFix executable. If your software does not allow you to
17+
add exceptions, please consider replacing it with a better antivirus program (I
18+
personally recommend Avira or Avast - both have free versions).
