However, this is a false positive.\n\nThe reason for this is that the application is not signed.\n\nIf downloaded from my GitHub, the program is safe to use (I cannot give this promise if you download it from somewhere else!).\nIt is okay if you do not trust me; you can always go ahead and compile it yourself.\n\nFor a tutorial on how to exclude this program from your antivirus so it can run anyway, check out these links:\n\n    Windows Defender: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-exclusion-to-windows-security-811816c0-4dfd-af4a-47e4-c301afe13b26\n    Avast: https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Antivirus-scan-exclusions#pc\n    AVG: https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en\u0026urlName=avg-antivirus-scan-exclusion\n    Norton: https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/v3672136\n    McAfee: https://www.mcafee.com/support/?page=shell\u0026shell=article-view\u0026articleId=TS102056\n    For other antiviruses, try searching for \"\u003cantivirus name\u003e add exception\"\n\n## Similar projects\n\nHere is a list of similar projects:\n\n- [Discord Bot Client](https://github.com/SamuelScheit/discord-bot-client)\n- [BotClient](https://github.com/DarkGuy10/BotClient)\n- [ChrisEric1.GitHub.io](https://github.com/ChrisEric1/ChrisEric1.GitHub.io)\n- [LiveBot](https://github.com/SebOuellette/LiveBot)\n- [BetterDiscordPanel](https://github.com/SanjaySunil/BetterDiscordPanel)\n\nHit me up if you have a similar project, and I'll gladly add it to the list.\n\n## Star History\n\n[![Star History Chart](https://api.star-history.com/svg?repos=aiko-chan-ai/DiscordBotClient\u0026type=Date)](https://star-history.com/#aiko-chan-ai/DiscordBotClient\u0026Date)\n\n---\n\n## How to update to the latest Discord version ?\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e This is a general guide for building from source, including downloading the latest scripts from Discord, obtaining the newest versions of Vencord and VencordDBCPlugin.\n\n1. Clone this repository and navigate into its directory (skip this step if you have already done so).\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/aiko-chan-ai/DiscordBotClient.git\ncd DiscordBotClient\n```\n\n2. Install dependencies and fetch the latest Vencord \u0026 VencordDBCPlugin\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e If you've done this before, just run “npm install” here and “git pull” for both the Vencord and VencordDBCPlugin repositories.\n\n```sh\nnpm run requirement\n```\n\n3. Generate a snapshot for the latest version of Discord Web\n\n```sh\nnpm run core:update\n```\n\n## Credits\n\nThanks to [ChrisEric](https://github.com/CE1CECL) for the source code that uses a local proxy to emulate a different version of Discord.\n\nThis project was mainly inspired by [SamuelScheit](https://github.com/SamuelScheit)\n[Discord Bot Client](https://github.com/SamuelScheit/discord-bot-client), which he sadly didn't\ndevelop any further.\n\nAnd a big thank you to [Vencord](https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord) developers for making it easier for me to create this app.\n\n## Disclaimer\n\nDiscord is trademark of Discord Inc. and solely mentioned for the sake of descriptivity.\nMention of it does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by Discord Inc.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faiko-chan-ai%2Fdiscordbotclient","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Faiko-chan-ai%2Fdiscordbotclient","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Faiko-chan-ai%2Fdiscordbotclient/lists"}
