You’ll see that within a couple of seconds, a window will be displayed that will show the fact that your system is now immunized.

The complete message will be: “CyberGhost has successfully immunized your system! Your system is now immunized from the current Petya version. We can’t guarantee that this immunization will work for future versions of Petya and recommend installing an Antivirus product. For additional protection, we recommend installing CyberGhost Pro.”

In case your Windows SmartScreen shows a warning, you can safely ignore it and allow the program to run.
