In plain English

This repository presents itself as hosting UltraViewer, a remote desktop support tool for Windows. The readme describes screen sharing, remote control, and file transfer features. However, this repository shows multiple red flags: it was created and updated on the same day in May 2026, the description mentions bypassing commercial-use detection in competing software (TeamViewer), users are instructed to add the downloaded program to antivirus exclusions if warnings appear, and it is hosted on a personal account with no affiliation to any official UltraViewer developer. Remote desktop tools distributed this way carry significant security risk, as they can grant a third party full control of your computer. Do not download or run files from this repository.
