Installs via a remote PowerShell script and appears to activate paid software without a license, which is a security and legal risk.
This repository presents itself as an installer for Process Lasso Pro, a third-party Windows utility made by Bitsum Technologies that adjusts how the operating system allocates CPU time between running programs. The core idea behind Process Lasso is a feature called ProBalance: it watches all the processes on your PC and automatically lowers the priority of anything that is consuming too much CPU, which is meant to prevent one heavy program from making everything else feel sluggish. There is also a Game Mode that tries to give a game process preferential access to CPU resources. The README's installation method is a single PowerShell command that downloads and runs a script from a different GitHub account. That script is described as silently installing Process Lasso Pro, setting up a background watchdog service, and configuring ProBalance rules automatically. The repository topics include terms like "process-lasso-activator" and "process-lasso-free," which suggest this installer may be activating the paid version of the software without a license. The troubleshooting section covers two scenarios: a legitimate business process being incorrectly throttled by ProBalance (the fix is to add it to an exclusion list), and Game Mode not boosting a game as expected (the fix is to manually force high CPU priority for that process). Requirements are Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), PowerShell 5.1 or newer, an internet connection, and about 40 MB of disk space.
