MSI warns of imposter Afterburner site spreading malware

Matthew Wilson May 14, 2021 Featured Tech News, Security

MSI is issuing a security warning this week, as a malicious website impersonating MSI's official web page has been found spreading malware.

The website “afterburner-msi(dot)space”, is a fake Afterburner page, claiming to offer downloads of the MSI Afterburner GPU monitoring and overclocking application. The impersonating web page has no relation with MSI and contains malware, so absolutely do not visit the web page or download any software from there.

The official MSI Afterburner website is not compromised and continues to be safe to use. However, the Afterburner Software download link is currently closed due to routine maintenance.

MSI is currently taking the “necessary actions to remove the malicious imposter website”. You can find the official MSI Afterburner page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: Always keep an eye out for dodgy looking links when trying to download software. Hopefully the malicious website will be taken down soon.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
