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?

If cmacked isn’t safe which website can I download Mac apps cracked by tnt? (Or other safe cracks)

Mac serial junkies. Only trustworthy place that’s open for reg.

They have a guide of sites to avoid. Cmacapps and Mac torrents are listed (among others).

In fact, Mac torrents was where I was infected with something. Only time I’ve ever gotten a thing on Mac.

Is Cmacapps the same as Cmacked? I've never had a problem when using Cmacked

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
