Greedy? How much money do you think he is making from this tiny niche product? If this was for Windows, he might be making some money, since Windows has boatloads of problems.

I'd like to ascertain that you HAVE read this this question and thread - started by someone other than me. Have you? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254105983?sortBy=rank Nobody, of course, has admitted to writing THIS web page:- https://sites.google.com/site/howtotellifyourmacishacked/is-etrecheck-malware It certainly was not me! -- David

No, I don't. > Should you be investigated? I am an open book! 🙂 Besides, I don't produce Mac software and invite naive Mac users to download it onto their computers. Such folk have absolutely no idea what such action might actually do 'behind the scenes' as it were. Who else reading here has actually USED EtreCheck? Anyone?

You've done it again in this thread. Not the "produce" part, because you're too ignorant, but the "invite" part is a regular occurrence.

I'm not a mac person by trade, David. So, other than reverse engineering to put your ill conceived theories about it containing or being malware, I have not used the product, nor would I specifically need to do so. That program is designed for people to assist end users (like yourself) via self support forums. It's one of many tools of that kind. I've already explained this to you, previously, several times, as well. It's in one ear and right out the other one; since you clearly don't remember what you've already been told. I have interacted with it's author on several occasions though. I've found the individual to be friendly, responsive, and quite knowledgeable. It's a shame that as another utility author that we have you in common. You've gone after my program at one point in the past as well. FFS, You initiated email contact with me, already lying your arse off about the reason(s) you contacted me in the first place. It damn sure was not for technical support for BugHunter. That was a ruse you crafted to interact with me. I *should have* ignored your emails that had nothing to do with supporting BugHunter. Had I known as much as I do now about you, I would have ended our comms the moment you first began to stray from requesting BugHunter assistance. You're a stalking, nutjob, pile of shit. > There a question, too, about it possibly being "Malware"! I've already reverse engineered two builds of this program and found absolutely no malicious code of any kind present inside the binary or the scripts. I reported this to you each time. You then proceeded to twist your original accusation to 'How do we know it doesn't download malware later via the internet?' - When I asked why you don't subject nearly every other program, including OS(s), to the same question you avoided answering. Yet here you are, yet again, inferring the program might contain or otherwise will contain malware. It's a shame the author hasn't opted to pursue you via legal channels at this point. You are a total piece of shit, lying, troll, David Brooks. > Your thoughts requested, folks! Please, pour a good amount of kerosene upon yourself and ignite it.

I believe there were more times, but here are TWO examples (so not just a
random typo / brain fart on terms):
Diesel / Gremlin <XnsACA2266D9357HT1@b61h2qa58gRz40SbioSFbq.6IDI>:
-----
Did he really tell you that after deleting your profile for the
photos program (when it's not running - I shouldn't have to make
sure you understand that, but, you are David Brooks and well, you
aren't exactly the brightest bulb in the pack.) you should restart
your machine to be sure the effect worked? David, y2k called and
they'd like their technology back if that's really the case. rofl.
Ensure no processes are running that program uses, ensure the
program itself isn't running, whack your profile. Start the
program, don't restart your machine or logoff/login again to 'fix'
it without first seeing if it's okay after whacking the profile.
-----
Diesel / Gremlin <XnsACA22716D09FHT1@b61h2qa58gRz40SbioSFbq.6IDI>:
------
A little birdie told me he already provided you instructions to
follow, but, it's a bit more than slightly clear he isn't really
sure about it. You uhh, shouldn't have to logout and back in, or
restart your OS to make the program behave itself. Make sure the
program is completely down, that it's closed and no services it
uses for anything are running. Whack the user profile. Either
learn to use google, or follow the generic instructions snit
provided you to locate them. Once you've deleted the profiles,
open the program and see if it's acting as you expect it to now.
-----

In a discussion of Carroll's flood bot he did make this claim:
<XnsAB6E44E6AFE1AHT1@ZdS859K14.7p1JRyU90Zyd>
-----
Do you think when you disassemble something that you're
provided the original source code that was
compiled/assembled by the author? You aren't, what you're
given looks nothing like the original source code, but it
still tells you *everything* about the program.
-----
When he realized this meant he would need the source code to Carroll's bot he
backed off that claim REAL fast and has been crying about me quoting him ever
since. LOL!

As I say, I "bring receipts".

Do you deny that YOU once posted this? //Hmm, I've considered it. But, i have to be honest with you. i don't give a damn about most people; people to me are like insects, they deserve to be treated as cruely as I can possibly treat them. Notice, i said most people not all. Perhaps it's the way I myself have been treated in my short miserable life (ah **** it, go ahead cracky, nail me, wide open freebie). But, I was raised with the "nail me, nail you" concept. I've been nailed since I began breathing.. if I had my way, I'd long be dead... but, that's a different topic, so I won't bore you with my life story.// You, Dustin Cook, are the 'bad guy', not me! >> There a question, too, about it possibly being "Malware"! > > I've already reverse engineered two builds of this program and found > absolutely no malicious code of any kind present inside the binary or the > scripts.
