    What do folk think of this article, please?

    We believe it. "In fact, EtreCheck is recommended to every novice Mac user on the AppleTips page in the Maintenance section."

    "While EtreCheck is safe to use, as with any software it is recommended that you use only the developer’s official website to download the program. If not,
    you might become a victim of a scam that could lead to you downloading
    software and receiving an app injected with adware. To get the legitimate version of this *highly recommended* diagnostic tool, visit Etresoft’s website."

    Everyone loves this app.

    FYI ....

    The link to EtreCheck in the "MAINTENANCE" section here doesn't 'work'!

    So? People make mistakes all the time.

    The author of the article sure did!

    The EtreCheck software is *NOT* "open source" as claimed in the article.
