2. Extract it to C:/ and rename it to de4dot for easy access.

3. Put in the program you want to deobfuscate in the directory of de4dot

4. Now open up your Command Prompt (Start > cmd) or Windows Key + R

5. Now type in cd de4dot; You should now be in the de4dot directory.
6. Type in de4dot .exe (Remove the <> brackets Ex. hf.exe).

Alternatively:

1. Drag and drop the program (exe) you want to deobfuscate onto de4dot.exe

Wait a little bit.

2. Now you should get a new file called -cleaned.exe.
