6.1. Cannot launch the script

Problem: Unable to launch the script. The console window displays the message "'batbox' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

Solution: Some components of the Bonus Downloader script may be treated by antivirus programs as a threat. These are false positives. Antivirus programs moves them to quarantine and these components become inaccessible. The above message appears in the console window. To avoid these type of errors: disable antivirus protection, extract the script, go to the settings of your antivirus program and add the following components to the exceptions: batbox.exe, cursorSize.exe, getInput.exe. Enable protection in your antivirus program.
