# stormdreamfoyer/movavi-photo-editor

> The repository poses as a pre-activated Movavi Photo Editor build for Windows, but actually instructs users to run a third-party PowerShell script from an external domain. This is a typical malware distribution scheme disguised as a 'free' installer.

## Useful for

- Avoid running the irm command from an external domain on a work machine
- Check the repository for malware-scheme red flags before use

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:47–02:09: 396 → 396 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +323 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 396 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #174.

## Star trust

Unusual star pattern (heuristic).
- Very few forks: 0 for 396 stars. Active projects usually have 3–15 forks per 100 stars.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
