If you're looking to download MSI Afterburner, take a moment to check if the website is the real deal. MSI warns that it's the latest target of scammers pretending to ship the software in order to piggyback viruses, trojans, keyloggers, and other nasty malware onto your gaming PC.
With the domain name disguised as afterburner-msi.space, it looks official enough if you just want to install the software and quickly tinker with your GPU settings, but it has no affiliation with MSI. It goes without saying that you shouldn't visit this suspicious URL and if you wind up on the webpage, don't download anything. Instead, head to the official Afterburner website.
Thankfully, the impersonating site isn't likely to catch many people out as it doesn't currently appear on a quick Google search and MSI is doing all it can to remove the imposter to prevent further harm. Don't panic if you've fallen into the trap, however, as there are plenty of steps you can take to remove malware from your system and keep yourself protected.
