» github.com/botherder/detektquote: Detekt tries to detect the presence of pre-defined patterns that have been identified through the course of our research to be unique identifiers that indicate the presence of a given malware running on the computer. . . . Beware that it is possible that Detekt may not successfully detect the most recent versions of those malware families. Indeed, some of them will likely be updated in response to this release in order to remove or change the patterns that we identified. In addition, there may be existing versions of malware, from these families or from other providers, which are not detected by this tool. If Detekt does not find anything, this unfortunately cannot be considered a clean bill of health.
I wish them good luck, but this scratches my cynic itch. |

It's not much more than a highly-specialized malware scanner.
So, where did they get the samples they used to develop the signatures? What's their plan to continue to get more? Seems like that's going to be a difficult task. |

It seems to only run x32 and there was an SideBySide error. I will admit this is on Win 10, build 9879 and this computer is running a x64 O/S. Approx time for scan 45 mins. - System

said by norwegian:Approx time for scan 45 mins. Which, coincidentally, is how much time it takes to upload your stuff to ASIO, the NSA and GCHQ |

It requests you work offline so there is no internet connection, but hey, if I'm paranoid, then the 45 minutes collected a lot of local data that was uploaded on re-connection of a beta product and really low levels of personal data.
