Why this verdict

PkgRadar discounts a release’s score when public reputation argues against novel malware. The verdict above already reflects these — the panel just explains what was applied.

Weekly downloads: 13,003,437Ubiquitous · −70% score
Versions published: 594Mature · −50% score
First published: Jul 2013
Publisher: owlstronaut

Effective trust discount applied: −70% (max across signals — discounts don’t stack). New install-lifecycle deltas vs the previous release would clear the discount.
