I downloaded the installer from cmacked.com, and cleanmymac almost immediately recognized it as malware.

    No that website is not safe. TNT is fine but whatever people inject into their cracks beware. Make sure it’s a proper, unedited TNT release.

    Also, stop using that trash software. macOS doesn’t need to be “cleaned.”

      FMHY still lists cmacked as an option for Mac software. Why do you say it’s unsafe?

      Also how do you verify a TNT release is unedited?

      agree with you on that second point. i stopped using CleanMyMac after some scathing reviews about its functionality.

      honestly macOS is fine on its own to deal with stuff like this and cleaning, so third-party programs are kind of unnecessary. the only program i’m okay with nowadays is OnyX as it’s a nice toolbox for utilities
