# Using Portable Version of Chrome
# Using Portable Version of Chrome
Using a portable version of Chrome will give you full control over chrome and chromedriver updates.
Using Selenium with a portable `Chrome for Testing` version of Chrome is the preferred way of uploading as it gives you full control over chrome and chromedriver updates and when to install them.
- When running the uploader for the first time, you will be notified that `Chrome for Testing` was not found and that you can download it by clicking the `Chrome Up to Date` button. This will automatically get the latest version of Chrome and download + extract it to the the `\lib\` folder. It will also download the appropriate `chromedriver.exe` file for that version and prompt you for admin permission to move it to `C:\Program Files\SeleniumBasic\chromedriver.exe`.
The Uploader will check for a portable version of Chrome first, before defaulting to the system installation
1. To use a portable version of Chrome, download the latest version Chrome version that has a chromedriver from [Chrome-for-Testing](https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/latest-versions-per-milestone-with-downloads.json), extract the `chrome-win64.zip` file and move the extracted folder to the `\Lib\` directory:
# Windows Defender False Positive
The resulting chrome filepath should be `..\Freedomain-Video-Uploader-Folder\Lib\chrome-win64\chrome.exe`
Windows Defender will sometimes flag the compiled .exe version as a false positive. The easiest way to get around this is to whitelist the directory the folder where you're keeping the Uploader files in. To do this, open up `Windows Powershell` as Administrator and run the following command: `Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath "PATHTOTHEFOLDER"`, eg: `Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath "C:\Users\yuriy\Downloads\VideoUploader"`
2. Download the `win64` chromedriver for the same version and move it to `C:\Program Files\SeleniumBasic\chromedriver.exe`
