- The page warns that a clean result is not proof of safety and directs potentially targeted people to expert help before running the tool.
Field notes
The guide lays out a hands-on process: download and extract the project, set up Python where needed, update indicator lists, then run a selected check. For the Windows standard check, it estimates about 15 minutes and says a copy of the result is saved in the project's findings folder. The page says scans do not contact a network or alter source evidence, while also cautioning that they are not an operating-system network sandbox.
