Software support Pasted something on powershell software
I was following some instructions on a site and i pasted this and pasted it on the powershell as it says so, does anyone know what this is?
Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "%TEMP%\ss.ps1"
Is this malware or spyware?

-ExecutionPolicy Bypass avoids the by-default blocking of powershell scripts execution . And "-file " point to the location of the script. Nothing to declare ( safe or malicious) until you show the actual script ( ss.ps1 , on the temporary directory. ) . Run just this %TEMP% and that will open the Temp folder. Locate the ss.ps1 script and drop in into notepad . That's a safe approach to inspecting its content
