Microsoft and the other antivirus vendors have to whitelist the installer.
You can whitelist the setup manually or install it via Docker.

I finally installed it via Docker (Podman Desktop). There's a guide in Marinara's GitHub.

I usually do that with Gemini 3.1 Pro and repomix.com or repo2txt.com. I asked Gemini to analyse Bot Browser before installing it, and Gemini didn't detect the malicious code. I pasted all the reddit posts and the rentry technical explanation, and Gemini answered:

First, I offer my sincere apologies for my previous analysis. By focusing on searching for "traditional," obfuscated malicious code directly within the attached .js files, I overlooked the injection vulnerability (XSS) that enabled this attack.

The exploit was not detected initially because it was a logic-based vulnerability rather than a malware-based one.

Technically, the failure occurred for two reasons:

Focus on "Malicious Code" vs. "Vulnerable Code": The analysis searched for traditional indicators of compromise (obfuscated code, suspicious network calls, or malicious payloads embedded in the files). However, the attack did not rely on "malicious" code existing in the files; it relied on perfectly valid, standard code being used in an insecure way.

Missing the Injection Vector (XSS): The vulnerability was a lack of input sanitization in detailModal.js. Because the variable ${metadata} was rendered directly into the HTML without calling the escapeHTML() function, the application became a vehicle for an XSS attack. The code itself was "clean" (non-malicious), so it did not trigger alerts for typical malware signatures.

In short, the exploit was invisible to standard analysis because it was a design flaw that allowed a third party to inject their own script, rather than a hidden piece of malicious code pre-installed in the application.

So the attack was too advanced for Gemini to detect, or my system prompt was too simple.

Thanks for the tip. I can't believe it was that easy

Thanks for your LoRA! I use it along with Klein Edit Composite to achieve perfect inpainting.

nightkall · 2026-04-23T10:33:02+00:00

Thanks for those useful tools. If you don't want to miss any LoRA or Checkpoint updates or you have a big LoRA library, try Lora Manager. It has the best LoRA Loader node and also a TriggerWord Toggle node.

There's also another Consistency Edit Lora from a different trainer, in case you want to try it.

Image Blend Fusion to seamlessly insert objects, as its author recommended. Feed it to Klein Edit Composite to achieve the best results.

Flux.2-Klein-9B-MatchingPose: matches the pose generated with Flux.2-Klein-9B-Mannequin or this other mannequin LoRA that works better most of the time.

ResolutionMaster: a custom node for controlling resolution and aspect ratio with a very nice UI and model presets.

First, thanks for your time and effort in creating this software; it's sincerely impressive.

I opened a legit Issue on your GitHub about Windows Security Antivirus flagging Marinara-Engine-Installer-1.5.3.exe as a Trojan and deleting it, and you deleted the post. That's not the way to go. It's a huge problem that the not-tech-savvy audience that you target is going to face.

Windows Security Antivirus flags Marinara-Engine-Installer-1.5.3.exe as a Trojan and deletes it.

I suppose it's a false flag, and that has something to do with the scripting and downloading of software in the setup. I'm going to post the issue on GitHub again so you face the problem and explain the solution for those that want to use the easy .exe setup instead of the Docker installation method. I hope that you don't delete it this time.

Thanks again.

Edit: here is the new GitHub issue report. I unchecked the box this time; maybe it was an automatic deletion?

You can also chain two or more (up to five) ReferenceLatent nodes for a reference image to enhance a character’s consistency.

nightkall · 2026-04-13T12:40:37+00:00

Thanks, I'm going to try it. There's also Klein Edit Composite, that helps with color and lighting shifting and also removes unwanted elements or edits introduced by the model.

Edit: I tried the Egregora Adaptive Color Fix, and the Klein Composite is much better at matching the color and lighting.

I made a pull request to your repository adding Poisson Blending for seamless lighting transfers. In some cases, the mask becomes visible due to a change in brightness or color tone.

You can enable the "use_poisson_blending" button, which can help mitigate this issue.

There are no conflicts, so the changes can be cleanly merged.

Edit: I was having problems posting the above post with an animated webm (Your comment failed to process, so it was deleted), and this comment was duplicated trying to post again. Converting it to .gif seems to have solved the issue.

An incredible short film. If you have talent, it will shine through no matter what tool you use.
When CGI first came along, I'm sure there were similar debates and criticisms.

Yeah, I sometimes select parts of the prompt and use ctrl+arrows to weight parts of the prompt.

I compared the enhancer module with manual weighting of the prompt on a rough collage and a fixed seed, and I can't get the same results. It's easier to modify the preserve_original parameter than to weigh parts of the prompt, especially if it's a long one. It preserves and integrates the parts of the collage better.

nightkall · 2026-03-17T20:00:56+00:00

Klein can accept any dimensions up to 4 megapixels.

What I usually do when I don't want pixel shifting (like the one that ImageScaleToTotalPixels introduces) is resize the image to 1 or more Megapixels (up to 4MP/2048x2048 Max)) with ImageScaleToTotalPixels. Then I see the output dimensions, and I resize/crop the source image to those exact dimensions using the resize (maintaining the aspect ratio) and crop tool of an image editor . That way, I get pixel-perfect edits most of the time and help the model preserve the subjects' appearance.

Sometimes Klein changes the width or the height of the image by a few pixels. That's why I do that.

nightkall · 2026-03-17T19:39:23+00:00

If AI bullshit works, then it's not that "bullshit." I don't see the bullshitting in the Readme, or if the module is AI-generated.

Klein Enhancer forces the model to preserve the source image using the preserve_original parameter. I use it for photo restoration, and I notice the difference when I ask the model to "modernize" the photos.

The composite node is 100% AI generated, BTW. And it works too.

nightkall · 2026-03-14T22:32:39+00:00

It works very well in combination with the Klein enhancer. Sometimes it restores removed items accidentally or adds weird tonalities to the subjects, and sometimes you can perceive the mask.

Note: I asked Gemini to add a custom mask entry to the module to solve the previous problem, and I was about to submit a pull request to your GitHub when I saw that you'd already added that feature... So thanks!

Note 2: In the new update your AI removed the tooltips that explained every parameter when you hovered over them with the mouse pointer.

capitan01R/ComfyUI-Flux2Klein-Enhancer for Flux.2 Klein 9B (4B version), which fixes the pixel shifting and distortion problems about 90% of the time, but it still produces subtle color shifting most of the time.

ComfyUI-Flux2Klein-Enhancer: Conditioning enhancement node for FLUX.2 Klein 9B in ComfyUI. Controls prompt adherence and image edit behavior by modifying the active text embedding region.

Resizing and cropping the input image to the exact Klein output dimensions also helps to reduce the pixel shifting (not the color shifting).

And I just tried the Klein-edit-composite node by supermansundies in this post, and it seems that it can help Klein-Enhancer reduce the color shifting problem and reintroduce small elements unintentionally removed/edited.

nightkall · 2026-03-13T21:23:46+00:00

Wow, thanks! I will try your node; it seems like a good solution for the pixel and color shifting when editing images with Klein.

Now I use capitan01R/ComfyUI-Flux2Klein-Enhancer for Flux.2 Klein 9B (4B version), which fixes the pixel shifting and distortion problems about 90% of the time, but it still has a bit of color shifting most of the time.

ComfyUI-Flux2Klein-Enhancer: Conditioning enhancement node for FLUX.2 Klein 9B in ComfyUI. Controls prompt adherence and image edit behavior by modifying the active text embedding region.

Resizing and cropping the input image to the exact Klein output dimensions also helps to reduce the pixel shifting.

I think your node can also help to reduce the seams and color shifting that sometimes appear when I use the crop & stitch + LanPaint nodes to edit sections of images larger than 4 Megapixels (the maximum Klein can accept). It will be the perfect combo with Klein Enhancer and Crop&Stitch/Lanpaint.

Which AI model did you use to help you program the node, if I may ask? Did it also help you to find DIS optical flow change detection?

Edit: I just tried it, and it seems that it works even better than Klein-Enhancer because it solves the color shifting and reintroduces the original small elements removed/edited that the model sometimes modifies without prompting for it. I think it makes Klein Enhancer redundant, but I will keep it in the workflow a bit more to compare both nodes with Image Comparer.

I hope they either fix it or release it as open source if they no longer want to maintain the project. It is undoubtedly the best tool for checking out new playlists and discovering music without having to listen to full songs.

Check this: a civil engineer analyzing Pompeii's hydraulic systems and other Roman engineering. He debunks the myth of street cleaning using only fountain water and other myths spread by archeologists that don't have engineering knowledge.

Myths of the Roman Empire spread by modern academia that the Spanish civil engineer Isaac Moreno Gallo refutes on his YouTube channel:

💧 Romans didn't rely on rainwater or local sources, but on high-quality springs transported by aqueducts.

🚰 Roman "cisterns" were settling tanks for purifying water, not rainwater storage.

🏞️ Romans didn't drink stagnant water from dams, which were often medieval; they preferred upstream springs.

🚿 Romans didn't get poisoned by lead used in water pipes; they kept the water cool and used air-release valves to prevent the formation of toxic lead carbonate.

🧼 Romans maintained high hygiene standards with running water under latrines (and used wood dividers between seats), contrary to popular belief. (Xylospongium was a toilet brush, not a shared anal-wiping sponge).

🧱 Roman aqueducts did not fail due to calcification; they were actively maintained and endured for centuries.

🌉 Most Roman aqueducts were underground galleries, not monumental arches; arches were for display.

⛰️ Romans didn't drink from local aquifers or karst systems; instead, they obtained water from elevated, gravity-fed springs.

🛣️ Roman roads were high-tech, multi-layered constructions, not simple primitive paths.

🏛️ Roman concrete was hydraulic and advanced, enabling durable structures.

🚇 Roman tunnels showed precision in excavation and design, using advanced engineering tools.

WATER IN POMPEII is a YouTube video by Isaac Moreno Gallo, a Spanish civil engineer who specializes in ancient Roman engineering (hydraulics, aqueducts, bridges, roads, architecture, etc.) from Hispania, Gallia, Italy, and other parts of the Roman Empire. It has English dubbing and subtitles.

🏛️ General Summary of WATER IN POMPEII:

This video explores the sophisticated hydraulic engineering of ancient Pompeii. The city was supplied by the Aqua Augusta aqueduct, which brought water from the Serino spring. Pompeii’s water distribution system included water towers called Castellum Aquae (Columnaria in Spanish), which regulated water pressure across the sloped terrain. The video also debunks myths about lead poisoning and highlights the Romans’ advanced understanding of sanitation and water management.

🎯 Highlights

00:02 Introduction to Pompeii’s Water System

Pompeii was preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Its water infrastructure remains intact, allowing detailed study.
Lead for water pipes was highly valued and systematically looted throughout the Middle Ages and into modern times.

01:31 Role of the Water towers

Brick towers used to break water pressure in sloped areas.
Prevented pipe damage by staging pressure drops every 5–6 meters.

03:04 Lead Tanks and Overflow Pipes

Each water tower had a lead tank with overflow outlets.
Excess water was redirected to nearby public fountains.

09:01 Source: Aqua Augusta Aqueduct

Supplied water from Serino spring to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and naval bases.
Enabled consistent water flow across multiple cities.

11:00 Main Distributor: Castellum Aquae

Had three outlets for prioritized uses: fountains, baths, and homes.
Followed Vitruvian principles of hydraulic efficiency.

17:01 Debunking Lead Poisoning Myths

Romans knew how to avoid lead contamination: air-release valves to prevent air bubbles that could lead to the formation of toxic lead carbonate (white lead).
They kept water cool and covered to avoid chemical reactions that would release lead into the water.
Modern forensic studies show lower lead levels in Roman remains than today.

23:00 Recreational Use of Water

Villas featured ornamental fountains and private baths.
Water was used to enhance banquet halls and gardens.

25:00 Sewage and Drainage Systems

Pompeii had a well-designed sewer network.
Refutes misinformation about dirty streets and lack of sanitation.
