I've been using windows without defender. I'll try to run it on windows with defender.

I removed the automatic retry feature when it fails and replaced it with a manual retry button. Please try it out and let me know if it’s still flagged by Windows Defender. It remains in TokenGrabber v1.1

If it is still detected as suspicious by Windows Defender, please add it to the exclusions. If you feel unsafe, feel free to use v1.0 or try the manual method. The success rate of v1.0 can be considered 90% since it uses only one URL, while v1.1 has a 100% success rate because it uses 5 randomly rotated links and includes a retry feature. The choice is yours.

Hi, I've updated TokenGrabber to v1.2 with a 100% success rate, no need for speed/delay settings, and it's faster. Feel free to try it out! v1.2
