That sketchy nVidia RTX LHR Unlocker Tool? It's actually Malware

When we wrote about the nVidia RTX LHR Unlocker tool on GitHub yesterday, we noted it came with caveats and red flags (see below). It just didn't sit right that it required downloading custom drivers from the developer, which at best would have meant it likely would have ruled out anything but mining (no gaming). And at worst, trusting an unknown source carries all kinds of risk. Turns out the worst case scenario is the one that played out. It installs malware onto Windows PCs, and even "adds a whole C:\ drive exclusion in Microsoft Defender when you install it—YIKES!" And as seen in the screenshot above, an upload to Virus Total shows that well over a dozen antivirus programs detect the utility as malware.
