1. **Disable your antivirus**\
   Disable Windows Defender Real-time protection), including any third-party programs like Malwarebytes, to prevent any potential false positive detections during the installation process. This step helps ensure that Nighty's files are not mistakenly flagged as malicious.

   * Type `%appdata%/Nighty Selfbot` and press Enter.
   * Delete everything inside that folder.
   * Restart Nighty.
