The DLSS5 Swapper tool by Rakanki911 has been removed from GitHub and is under review by NexusMods (https://nexusmods.com/site/mods/2228) due to suspicion that the tool sideloaded a malicious version of ReShade into the AppData folder. It is not yet known if it was something intentional by the author.

I checked my DLSS5 Swapper ReShade_Setup_6.8.0_Addon against the official one and they're exactly identical.
I checked my AppData/Local folder and didn't find anything weird.
I checked Windows Defender: Nothing weird.
My version is 2.2.7.0 from the 13th of September 2026.
OP says: Problem is it’s side-loading contents are malicious, it would side load a compromised version of ReShade tutorial into your system’s AppData folder (ReShade_Setup_6.8.0_Addon) and start acting like an info stealer.
AppData only contains Local, LocalLow and Roaming so this information is wrong. If there is an info stealer, it surely isn't in AppData. Also, what info stealer ? What's its name?
It's great to warn people, it's better to provide accurate informations.
RHI also installs ReShade_Setup_6.8.0_Addon so dont panic if you find it in RHI folder
Starting to wonder if the original poster installed some malware files and assumed it was from this file?
