Understanding Heuristic Alarms

Modern antiviruses use 'Heuristics'—they guess if a site is dangerous based on its behavior. Requesting multiple binary streams (like when we fetch a 1080p video) can look like a 'Bot' or 'Trojan' to an unconfigured antivirus. This is a common error in the media utility industry.

Whitelisting SaveMedia

To fix this permanently, open your Antivirus settings (e.g., Avast, McAfee, or Bitdefender) and look for Exclusions or Exceptions. Add **https://savemedia.website** to the list. This tells the software to trust our scripts, ensuring your downloads never get interrupted by a false alarm again.
