Signature and security triggers

Programs that change Windows system settings sometimes raise the suspicion of security solutions. This page explains how to verify the authenticity of BoosterX and why an antivirus may trigger a false positive.

Where to download

Download BoosterX only from the official website boosterx.org or from the official Discord server (discord.gg/boosterx). Builds from third-party sources and “tweaker packs” may be modified — the signature below will show this.

Verifying the digital signature

The installer and program files are signed with the developer’s digital signature. You can verify it without third-party tools:

1. Right-click the installer file → “Properties”.
2. The “Digital Signatures” tab.
3. Make sure the signature is present, its status is “The digital signature is valid”, and the publisher is the BoosterX developer.

Files modified after signing or built by someone other than the developer will not have a signature.

Why an antivirus may trigger

By its very nature, BoosterX does what detectors consider suspicious in any optimizer program: it changes system settings, stops services and uses a driver to access hardware. Individual antivirus services have historically flagged the file when distribution platforms changed — in the update history such cases are marked and closed.

What to do if it triggers:

1. Verify the file signature using the steps above.
2. Make sure the file was downloaded from the official source.
3. Report it to support — the trigger will be checked against the current build.
4. Add the file to your antivirus exclusions only after steps 1–2.

Caution on the part of security solutions is a normal reaction to a system tool. Base your decision to trust it on the signature and the source, not on the fact that a trigger occurred.
