Whales:
I used it to reverse engineer my laptop's BIOS to permit replacement of the wifi card:

A few rough edges that I complain about (eg not always automatically detecting registers to be function arguments) but it worked fine.

Perhaps you clicked on a Google sponsored link (*shudder*) and got something that is actually legitimately malware?  Lots of popular software gets targeted with lookalike sites.

"...created and maintained by the National Security Agency Research Directorate."
I started at the software's website https://ghidra-sre.org/ and downloaded from the github repo as I recall.

I had Notepad++ documents erased and a few reverted to empty with size of 1KB, and others went back months as if retrieved from some old cache. It was weird enough and scuttled a lot of work, so I will not touch NSA S/W. The strobing Cobra snake got me. Another (peer) engineer tried Ghidra for another project and he said it didn't work for him.
There are other disassemblers that work for me.
