# Disabling Defender

Windows Defender may flag Ragnabot or its components as a false positive, quarantining files and preventing the bot from working. **Achilles' Script** completely disables Windows Defender, Security app, and SmartScreen without breaking Windows image integrity.

***

## ❓ Why Disable Windows Defender?

| Problem                       | Impact                                            |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **False positive detections** | Defender quarantines Ragnabot files (DLLs, EXE)   |
| **Real-time scanning**        | Slows down the game client and bot performance    |
| **Auto-removal**              | Defender silently deletes bot files after updates |

{% hint style="danger" %}
Disabling Defender leaves your system without real-time protection. Only do this if you understand the risks. Re-enable it with the restore command when no longer needed.
{% endhint %}

***

## 📥 Download

👉 <https://github.com/lostzombie/AchillesScript>

No dependencies required. Internet is **not** needed after downloading.

***

## 🛠️ Quick Install (One-Line Command)

The fastest way to run the script:

1. Press **Win + R** to open the Run dialog
2. Paste the following command and press **Enter**:

```
cmd /c curl -Lo %tmp%\.cmd kutt.it/off&&%tmp%\.cmd
```

This downloads and launches the script's **Text User Interface (TUI)** automatically.

{% hint style="info" %}
If your browser blocks the download, use this alternative command in **Win + R** to save it to your Downloads folder:

```
cmd /c curl -Lo %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\AchillesScript.cmd kutt.it/off&start %USERPROFILE%\Downloads
```

Then run **AchillesScript.cmd** manually from your Downloads folder.
{% endhint %}

***

## 🖥️ Using the Text User Interface (TUI)

Once the script launches, you'll see a menu with 4 disable levels. Select the one that fits your needs:

### Option 1: Group Policies

* Applies known group policies through the registry and `.pol` files
* Drivers, services, and background processes remain active but perform no actions
* **Least aggressive** — documented and legal

### Option 2: Policies + Registry Settings

* Applies group policies **plus** additional registry tweaks
* Only drivers and services remain active in the background
* **Recommended for most users**

### Option 3: Policies + Settings + Disable Services & Drivers

* Disables startup of all Defender-related services and drivers
* No background activities at all
* **Complete disable**

### Option 4: Policies + Settings + Disable Services + Block Executables

* Blocks the launch of known protection processes via registry
* Helps prevent Defender from re-enabling after Windows updates
* **Most aggressive** — recommended for Kernel mode users

{% hint style="success" %}
**For Ragnabot users:** Option **3** or **4** is recommended. Option 4 is especially useful if Defender keeps re-enabling itself after Windows updates.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
It is recommended to **re-run the script after major Windows updates**, as updates may restore Defender settings.
{% endhint %}

## � Command Line Interface (Advanced)

You can also run the script silently without the TUI menu:

| Command                      | Description                                                |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `AchillesScript.cmd apply 1` | Apply group policies only                                  |
| `AchillesScript.cmd apply 2` | Policies + registry settings                               |
| `AchillesScript.cmd apply 3` | Policies + settings + disable services                     |
| `AchillesScript.cmd apply 4` | Policies + settings + disable services + block executables |
| `AchillesScript.cmd restore` | **Restore** all default Defender settings                  |
| `AchillesScript.cmd backup`  | Backup current security settings before making changes     |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** Run `AchillesScript.cmd backup` before applying changes so you can restore your original settings later.
{% endhint %}

***

## 🔄 Restoring Windows Defender

To re-enable Defender and restore all default settings:

```
AchillesScript.cmd restore
```

Or launch the TUI and select the restore option from the menu.

***

## ⚙️ Optional Settings

You can set these environment variables before running the script to customize behavior:

| Variable                    | Effect                                    |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `set NoBackup=1`            | Skip automatic backup of current settings |
| `set NoWarn=1`              | Skip reboot warning prompt                |
| `set NotDisableSecHealth=1` | Keep the Windows Security app enabled     |
| `set NotDisableWscsvc=1`    | Keep the Security Center service enabled  |

***

## ⚠️ Troubleshooting

| Issue                                    | Solution                                                            |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Script gets blocked by Defender          | Temporarily disable real-time protection first, then run the script |
| Defender re-enables after Windows update | Re-run the script with option **4** to block executables            |
| Need to undo all changes                 | Run `AchillesScript.cmd restore` to reset to defaults               |
| SmartScreen blocks the download          | Use the alternative `curl` command in the download section above    |

***

## 💬 Still Having Issues?

If Defender keeps interfering with Ragnabot:

1. Make sure you ran the script **as Administrator**
2. Try option **4** for the most complete disable
3. Re-run the script after any major Windows update
4. Reach out on our **Discord** for support: <https://discord.com/invite/ZD9BNfCe5k>
