Why does the 'Windows protected your PC' screen popup? This is due to the nature of running Software published without any digital certificate attached. These only work when authorized by some big distributors that demand lots of money for this.

In case the application doesn't start or is blocked by your anti virus

In some cases it is possible that your anti virus is triggered due to the way the software is build in a protected way. This is in all cases a so called false positive, feel free to verify it yourself using services like VirusTotal. Additionally we always provide VirusTotal scan results on every release of DCT.

In order to continue, you will have to add an exclusion / exception rule for Durty Cloth Tool in your Anti Virus system. See the tabs for some of the most common Anti Virus systems and how to do it.
