So here's the conclusion: As long as you download TL from this repository you can be 100% sure that you do not get any fishy software that sends your private data to Donald Trump or implements any kind of malware because people would notice and I would be an asshole (which I am not, I promise).Do you want to download twitch clips, vod, or movies for free? Yes, this article is for you. Again: An unsigned application opens a process of another open source application and tries to communicate with it? SUS AF!!! ts files to mp4 (if enabled in the preferences). Twitch Leecher calls ffmpeg.exe in order to convert. Now put it all together: An unsigned application uses an in-app browser that makes direct calls to the Windows system? THAT'S SUS AF!!! That the tought process of your AV tool basically.

The Chromium engine makes calls directly to the C++ API of Windows. This in-app browser is the exact same Chromium engine that the actual Google Chrome browser uses (just the open source part). Yea, that's right, TL uses CefSharp in order to display the login form of Twitch. Some AV tools let that just go, others warn you. Some AV tools do not like unsigned software and that is ok, because the AV tool cannot verify the authenticity of that program.

Such a certificate tells Windows basically 'look, this software was published by someone legit'.

Such a certificate costs quite a lot of money and I simply do not want to spend hundereds of dollars of my own money a year for a tool which I do not earn anything with (except some very appreciated donations). Here are 3 things that throw off AV software: If I ever implemented something fishy, people would notice very very quickly and ring all alarm bells on the internet. With TL 2.x.x there are some changes that might be 'suspicious' to AV software.īut first let me make one thing clear: TL is open source and a lot of eyes are on this source code.
