Sometimes you may get a warning from Windows Defender or other anti-virus software. You can safely ignore it. This is because PboSpy is not a properly signed application.

If you don't trust executables from the Internet, you can always build PboSpy from source. In this case please note that PboSpy uses the git submodules so clone the repository with the --recursive option:
git clone https://github.com/rvost/PboSpy.git --recursive
If you already have cloned without the --recursive, you have to perform git submodule init followed by git submodule update in order to get all dependencies cloned.
