# Bypassing

Because Akira Memory uses techniques that antivirus software and Windows security features often misidentify as threats, you may need to adjust a few settings before the software will download and run correctly. This section walks you through that preparation.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only download Akira from our official website, [akiraghost.com](https://akiraghost.com). Files from third-party sites or other users may be tampered with and could compromise your system.
