ChuninMomentum/IOBIT-Driver-Booster
About the project
The repository poses as an Iobit Driver Booster driver-update utility, but actually distributes a PowerShell script executed via irm ... | iex, with instructions to bypass Execution Policy and disable antivirus. It looks like a malicious or pirated installer scheme rather than a legitimate open-source project.
Useful for
- Inspect the repository for signs of a malicious PowerShell loader before running it
- Study common Execution Policy bypass and antivirus-disabling techniques used in such schemes
