[!WARNING] Some third party anti-viruses will falsely detect the script as malicious, obviously this is a false positive and the anti-virus will need to be temporarily disabled or set the script as an exclusion. Due to the nature of making advanced changes to the system many debloat tools/scripts will be falsely detected as malware... if you are unsure about the script I always recommend testing any software in a virtual machine first
