Ask Grok Bot to check a download on its own computer before you install it
I want to install software from this URL: [URL]. On your own computer (not mine), download it but do not run or install it. Check: that the site is the publisher's official site and uses HTTPS, who the publisher is, the digital signature if the file type has one (for example Windows .exe/.msi or macOS .pkg/.dmg), the publisher's listed checksum if there is one, and its reputation. Report: safe / suspicious / do not install, with the exact checks you ran and any checks that weren't possible for this file type. Do not send me the file.
Steps
- Send Grok Bot the link to the download page and ask it to check the file on its own computer, not yours.
- Ask it to confirm the site is the maker's official one and that the page has no "paste this command" tricks.
- Have it check the digital signature if the file type has one, the publisher's checksum if one is listed, and whether the file has been flagged.
- Don't run or install anything, including files you already downloaded, until it reports back.
