tonymacx86.Installhelper ?

[Marius]

Hi everyone @ Tonymacx86,

I just discovered that you secretly runs a LaunchDeamon that triggers a PrivilegedHelperTool during every startup. Since this code doesn´t seem to be published as Open Source (like Chimera & Chameleon), it would be great if you´d share what this actually does???

Thanking you.

Regards,

Marius

BEWARE until clarified - Tonymacx86 sercretly runs hidden tool in background!

Words of advice - before you go full Chicken Little, why not email a mod/admin and ask a question?

If I'm not mistaken the tonymac daemon is installed when you first run MultiBeast, to enable that app's modification of your OS X installation and help ensure the app works properly. Ever install any Adobe apps, or Google's, or Backblaze, or Carbon Copy Cloner, or a thousand other programs? They have launch daemons too. It's all a conspiracy, I tells ya. ADOBE DEEPLY CARES ABOUT WHAT PORN YOU WATCH BECAUSE, WELL, THEY JUST DO.

Might be time to repurpose that tin foil.

Oh please I beg stop!!!! - I am the floor rolling and the tears are falling down my face from laughing.

Installerhelper is the code that allows for the packages to be installed. It is only launched when you have MultiBeast actually install something and then exits upon completion.

If you want to see what the code does, search for running Cocoa application code with elevated privileges. You will find examples of this type of code.
