The Red Panda Mining team invited a cybersecurity specialist to analyze the software. The video with the analysis turned out to be very long, but you should watch at least the beginning to understand that Nvidia RTX LHR v2 Unlocker unconditionally belongs to the category of malware.

What is worth only the lack of a Microsoft certificate, because of which the system immediately identifies the software as potentially malicious, an installer created in 2009, as well as attempts to reach some server at the end of the application installation. In general, the use of this software is highly discouraged, and Nvidia LHR graphics cards still remain hacked at about 70% of their maximum power when mining cryptocurrencies.
