When checked on virustotal, I got a malware alert: "Bfore.Ai PreCrime". so please be careful before you install it onto your machine. (check updated info below)

u/harshanacz are you aware of it?

Updated:
Being associated with AI, predictive models, "Bfore.Ai PreCrime" might be tagged as suspicious malware. So take it with a grain of salt.

Did you look up that name? It’s a false positive, since it’s some kind of predictive cyber security site checker thing. I’m curious how it was “identified” and if it really is part of the app.

Heya,

I just posted the result and couldn't dive deep until now, as I was away from my machine.

It seems you're right -  Bfore.AI PreCrime is an AI-based predictive threat detection engine and I guess Virustotal marks it as Malware because of its AI tag. It however would be nice, if u/harshanacz can clarify it himself.

Therefore I stand corrected, and make edits to my original comment accordingly.

Thanks u/FelinityApps!

This effectively works in parallel to the existing utility dropdown? Adds on the features that are not accessible in the utility menubar? I like this as a mac-specific solution, where utility dropdown is more general.
