Pff don't be paranoid. If there is something malicious in this script then, a) it will be fairly obvious; all this does is modify registry values, and b) someone else will probably post about it - it would be pretty big news!

Besides you clearly need to read it anyway - it does stuff that not everyone will want, like disabling the lock screen.

Edit: In fact I'd be curious if there has ever been an actual instance of `curl ... | sudo sh` being malicious. I mean it's an obvious attack vector but it's also obvious. I've never heard of anyone actually using it.
