Have readers here read all four pages of this thread? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8332293?page=1&sortBy=oldest_first I still believe that is important to know just WHO designed and crafted the EtreCheck software before downloading it onto one's Mac.

Please read this forum thread to learn more:- https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/etrecheck-says-sip-is-off-while-status-says-on-with-macbook-m1-anyone-know-if-this-is-normal.2415550

Look what it found!

I was perusing here:- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8332293?page=3&sortBy=rank The blue link shown in this post NOW goes to a different (correct!) place:- https://i.ibb.co/S6Gk9SB/40-DE2098-4-DE1-4361-9691-23-D9-D10305-EB.png Just how can it have been manipulated in the original Apple ASC thread? Ideas welcomed.

Have you read this Blog article? https://sites.google.com/site/howtotellifyourmacishacked/is-etrecheck-malware Most enlightening! Enjoy.

Hello PuppyArms 🙂 Is your computer up-and-running properly again now? Please advise. Thanks.

DevForums is a place for third-party developers to get technical help when building products for Apple platforms. Indeed it is. So, DID John Daniel "get technical help" here when he was building his 'EtreCheck' product. Did Apple TEST the product before permitting it to be sold in the Apple App Store some years ago? Please advise. Thanks.

Thank you for your response, Quinn. 🙂 The developer of EtreCheck - John Daniel (also known as 'etresoft') - no longer appears to post here in the Developer forums and, even though I once purchased the EtreCheckPro product, he refuses to respond to my email messages. Are you able to confirm that EtreCheck is a satisfactory third-party software to install on an Apple computer? David Brooks https://www.linkedin.com/in/boaterdave/

No, I am not the developer of EtreCheck.

Have you read here? https://macmost.com/forum/do-you-recommend-etrecheck.html So, do YOU recommend EtreCheck as a satisfactory software to be loaded onto an Apple computer?

Does anyone reading here approve of the EtreCheck software or do you follow the advice given by Gary Rosenzweig? https://macmost.com/forum/do-you-recommend-etrecheck.html

Gary says .... https://macmost.com/forum/do-you-recommend-etrecheck.html

"macOS is currently in need of substantial improvement to its usability, and a return to simple, consistent behaviours that conform to explicit and generally understood rules. That need not involve abandoning the great achievements of the SSV, Gatekeeper, or launch constraints, but improvements in their presentation using human factors."
