What to do if you get safety warnings

If you have come here; you have probably gotten warned by SmartScreen when trying to download or run run.bat. Don't worry, it's safe. You can look through all the code if you don't trust my Easy Usage Script or YT-DLP as they're both open source.

If you've used version 1 previously, and are wondering why that one didn't give you a warning. It's because you made the batch file yourself (with my code), while the new version(s) are batch files that I have created.

Every time you update run.bat; you may encounter these warnings again.

Obligatory safety warning: Please make sure that you trust programs before running them, there is a reason that these warnings exist! If you are unsure of if a program is trusted or safe to run; please search its name, and check what the general consensus is. If you're still unsure, or if you want to make sure that it's safe, you can use something like VirusTotal (I am not affiliated or sponsored by them). Note that these types of sites tend to give a few false positives. If the program is open source (like this project); you can check the source code, or ask a trusted person to do so.

Here is v2.7 Hotfix of run.bat on VirusTotal. If you don't trust me; upload the one that you downloaded. (click me to go to the VirusTotal analysis of v2.7 Hotfix)
