Again, looking at your posts and revisiting to show where you just are not understanding and are focusing more on your attacks than on tech. You say most software can be found in System Information >Installations. Unlikely to be most, but even if so it is not relevant. There is nothing wrong with software being distributed without an installer and it is very common on macOS. Other than the App Store it is the norm. You then go back to the idea that software without installers cannot be scanned. This is not in any way true. And you ask about scanning EtreCheck after it has been launched. Not a problem -- as I proved to you with a video. You are not understanding even the basics of the technology side of this discussion. To be fair, that is fine -- being ignorant of something is not immoral or wrong. And not an insult. I am ignorant of many things (say anything beyond very simple programming / coding, or soldering, or welding, etc.) But you present your ignorance as if it is knowledge, then use clearly erroneous conclusions to focus on one piece of software and by extension its developer. in short: nothing wrong with being wrong, but being confident in your incorrect claims and then focusing on one product / developer IS wrong and harmful. -- It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with you.

I used ScreenFlow... but the basics are simple: I set up the windows as I wanted, turned on recording, did the steps you see, and then ended the recording. In post production (after recording) I did change the cursor so it was easier to see, but you can use the macOS built in tools and get a recording just fine.

In macOS you can record with Command+Shift+5 Record Entire Screen (or selected window or portion if you prefer) -- It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with you.

Ok, going back through the threat to show specific odd claims and where you act inappropriately. You say most software shows up in System Information >Installations. Generally only software with an installer. Then you say "Once there, software can be scanned with an AV software package to check for malware." Well, sure... once there OR NOT THERE it can be scanned. But your clear implication is it must be there. That is absurdly wrong. You then say: "However, a popular tool often recommended by advisors on the Apple Support Communities forums (EtreCheck) cannot be checked in this manner." This is just silly. And the insinuation that EtreCheck is doing something uncommon or wrong is untrue and inappropriate. And then you go into nonsense about how since it does not have an installer it cannot be scanned. Utterly wrong. It shows up in downloads and you can move it where you wish. There is nothing wrong with this. Please stop making insinuations and claims which are not tied to reality! Here, since you like AI, this is what it says of your comments: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The post is based on several incorrect assumptions about how macOS software distribution works. Many Mac apps are not "installed" with a package installer. They are self-contained .app bundles that can run from anywhere (Downloads, Desktop, Applications, etc.). Because of that, they often do NOT appear in System Information > Installations. That list mainly shows software installed via .pkg installers, not every application on the system. EtreCheck follows the same model. It is a standalone app that can be run directly without installing anything. That behavior is common for Mac utilities and diagnostic tools. The claim that such software cannot be scanned by anti-malware software is also incorrect. AV tools can scan files, folders, ZIP archives, disk images, and applications before they are run. Software does not need to be "installed" to be scanned. So the argument rests on a false premise: that software must appear in the Installations list in order to be legitimate or scannable. That is not how macOS works. The wording of the post also suggests it is more about casting doubt than asking a genuine technical question. It strings together several incorrect assumptions and then ends with a rhetorical question about software being given "free reign", which frames the tool as suspicious without actually presenting evidence of a problem. That pattern is fairly typical of Usenet debate posts aimed at discrediting a specific tool rather than understanding the underlying technology. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In later posts you suggest your focus is technical -- but it is not. You get the technical side grossly wrong and the focus is clearly on suggesting bad things about EtreCheck and by extension its developer. I am not asking you to drop technical discussions... but to drop this unhealthy focus and vendetta against a product and its developer. -- It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with you.

OK - let's make a deal! *YOU* post an EtreCheck report of your Mac and I'll do the same - so we can compare. No personal information is ever shown, so there should be no reason not to do this.
