Summary

Fake download sites for overclocking tools have spread malware: fake MSI Afterburner downloads, some promoted through search ads, carried infostealers and miners (BleepingComputer). Two lines in the README:

  • Quick start, step 1: download it only from the GitHub page; the app has no other website.
  • "Is it safe to run?": releases are published only on the releases page, why that matters, and then the existing SHA-256 / attestation check.

Docs only.

Test plan

  • Read the rendered Quick start and FAQ entry on the branch page

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Fake download sites for tools like MSI Afterburner have spread
infostealers. Quick start and the safety FAQ now say that the releases
page is the only source.
