## What if my antivirus stops RIPTIDE from running?

That means it's working! RIPTIDE is designed to be a fast, secure, and reproducible method of resetting Windows devices. To accomplish these goals, RIPTIDE uses shortened PowerShell commands, automatic application of provisioning packages, text-based file encoding, and public code hosting among many other methods and systems. While none of these things are inherently malicious, many malicious programs use these same methods, including ClickFix attacks, trojans, intentional obfuscation tactics, and malware distribution systems. In short, the same features that make RIPTIDE convenient also make it appear suspicious to security software. We encourage you to carefully inspect the code yourself for any areas of concern. If your security software flags RIPTIDE, you may need to temporarily disable the software.
