EtreCheck Pro, in its brand new release, contains this note:
"Probably one of the most widely misunderstood topics is computer security.?First of all, remember that Apple provides multiple layers of ?antivirus and?malware protection in the macOS operating system itself.

Most suggestions posted on?the internet to install software or change system settings will make your?machine less secure. Many popular 3rd party security products are simply?scams and give you no protection of any kind.
"Most of the popular media headlines about security exploits do not concern?your Macintosh. Do not pay attention to news media or bloggers.

I¡¯ve found, over the years, that if you offer an opinion, it is?generally researched, well-formed, and sound.
Do you have one of those opinions about Sqwark¡¯s DetectX, and what it is, or is not, good for?
