FWIW, I had a conversation with Malwarebytes support. The do in fact flag ALL PCVARK products and have since 2016 whether they have adware or not. I didn't see any evidence of adware in Duplicates Cleaner. However, to be on the safe side I would stay clear and use a different product. dupeGuru is one option. I'm sure there are others.
One checksum, in this case generated by virustotal.com is useless without the original checksum.
I have unhooked from this discussion.
The point !
I don't expect any Malware in the Apple's app store. I expect the files which Apple users can download to be scrutinized for malware.
5 days ago I unhooked from this thread, after research the last 7 years.
But I still get the messages, today I unhooked again.

I dont know what makes you an authority. Why don't you demonstrate avirus detector that does not find any malware on this particular software.
+1
I still have not received any response for Apple on my notification of the malware detected on this software
And it's unlikely you ever will.
So, I see you still have this junkware installed. Wonderful.
Your saying that Virus Total "https://www.virustotal.com" is junk but I am to trust Apple? Here Is just one web site demontrating that Malware exists in the App Store "https://www.eyerys.com/articles/news/14-apps-golduck-malware-discovered-apples-app-store"
I am would like to know what makes you think that the software detected by Virus Total is not Malware? Simple becuase your Mac did not report any issues? I am pointing out to Apple that this software is Malware but if Apple says it is not Malware, fine.
I would like ot know if this is the proper forum for Apple to respond to Malware report?
babowa. I am well aware that this is a forum of users of this service that is why it is important to notify them of a problem.
In this thread you will see I notifies Apple and provided the date of notification.
Since some of the forum users seem to think that the information provided is falses or that the Web site Virus total is not valid I am interested in any Apple forum users providing evidence that this software is not malware!
I am not interested in Apple's point of view. I am interested in the forum users Malware detection of this software.

I hope you have a great time chasing after some utopian problem. Actually, I have a solution: uninstall Duplicates Cleaner.

Not really since I, for one, would not let such an app near any of my Macs.
I am now unsubscribing to this thread.
You're missing the point. You need an original unaltered checksum to compare a file to. If the computed one is different, it's either tampered with or damaged. Just having ONE is useless.
