If your antivirus blocks Dewbot while you’re downloading, installing, or using it, don’t panic. This is something that can happen with automation software.

Dewbot interacts with your browser automatically to place trades, and some antivirus programs mistake that kind of behavior for something suspicious. In most cases, this is simply a false positive, which means the antivirus has incorrectly identified a safe program as a threat.

This guide will show you how to get Dewbot working again safely.

Why Does Antivirus Block Dewbot? #

Unlike a normal desktop application, Dewbot performs automated tasks inside your browser. To do that, it needs to:

• Open and control browser actions automatically
• Read and write files during installation and updates
• Connect to internet services
• Run packaged executables

Because these actions are similar to what some types of malware do, certain antivirus programs may flag Dewbot even though it is safe.

This can happen with antivirus software such as:

• Avast Antivirus
• AVG AntiVirus
• Bitdefender
• Kaspersky Anti-Virus
• Norton 360
• McAfee

The good news is that this is usually easy to fix.

Verify the Dewbot File (Optional but Recommended) #

If you would like extra peace of mind before allowing Dewbot through your antivirus, you can scan the file yourself using VirusTotal.

VirusTotal is a trusted online service that checks a file using dozens of antivirus engines at the same time.

Dewbot has been tested on VirusTotal and typically receives an almost clean result. You may occasionally see one or two antivirus engines flag the file, but this is generally due to Dewbot’s browser automation rather than an actual security threat.

In most cases, you’ll find that:

• Nearly all antivirus engines identify Dewbot as safe.
• Any isolated detections are usually false positives.
• You can review the results yourself before installing the software.

How to Check Dewbot Yourself #

Step 1: Open VirusTotal #

Go to the VirusTotal file scanner.

Step 2: Upload the Dewbot File #

Upload one of the following:

• The Dewbot installer
• The Dewbot executable (.exe)
• The Dewbot folder (compressed into a ZIP file if necessary)

Step 3: Review the Results #

After the scan finishes, VirusTotal will display information such as:

• Detection count
• Security reputation
• Behavior analysis

This allows you to independently verify the file before continuing.

Although this step is optional, many users find it reassuring.

Signs That Your Antivirus Is Blocking Dewbot #

If your antivirus is interfering with Dewbot, you may notice one or more of these symptoms:

• Dewbot disappears immediately after downloading.
• The installation suddenly fails.
• Dewbot closes as soon as you open it.
• The launcher won’t start.
• Your antivirus displays a “Threat detected” notification.
• Dewbot files are moved into quarantine.

If you’re seeing any of these, your antivirus is probably preventing Dewbot from running properly.

Solution 1: Restore Dewbot from Quarantine #

If your antivirus has already removed Dewbot, you’ll need to restore it first.

Step 1: Open Your Antivirus #

Launch your antivirus program.

Step 2: Open the Quarantine Section #

Look for a section with a name such as:

• Quarantine
• Threat History
• Virus Chest
• Protection History
• Threat Vault

The exact name depends on the antivirus you’re using.

Step 3: Locate the Dewbot Files #

Look for files such as:

• Dewbot.exe
• launcher.exe
• Dewbot installer

Step 4: Restore the Files #

Choose the available option to:

• Restore
• Restore and Allow
• Mark as Safe
• Exclude from Future Scans

Once restored, the files should no longer be removed automatically.

Solution 2: Add Dewbot to Your Antivirus Exclusions #

This is the most important step because it prevents your antivirus from blocking Dewbot again in the future.

Add the Dewbot installation folder to your antivirus exclusion list.

The default installation folder is:

C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Dewbots\Dewbot

General Steps #

Most antivirus programs have an option similar to:

Settings → Exclusions → Add Folder

Select the entire Dewbot folder.

After adding the exclusion:

• Dewbot can install normally.
• Dewbot can launch without interruption.
• Future antivirus scans will ignore the Dewbot folder.

2. Install Dewbot.
3. Add the Dewbot folder to your antivirus exclusions.
4. Turn real-time protection back on.
