In reading his notes and 'readme' files for each app, Patrick conveys a real concern with security; not like some who hype their products as ‘the last word' in Mac security. This developer points out what he sees as both strengths AND weaknesses with his apps –– and his desire to improve them all as he moves forward. Very impressive array of programs and extremely detailed infos on all of his apps.
'OS X malware and security has been a personal passion for many years. However the more I learned about this topic, the more insecure I felt. Malware for OS X is trivial to write and unfortunately has become ever more pervasive. And, using attacks such as dylib hijacking attackers can easily bypass all current OS X security products.
As an avid Mac user, this worried me, so I decided to do something about it. Initially, this was for somewhat 'selfish' reasons; I simply wanted to write OS X security tools to secure my Mac. But then I thought, 'hey, sharing is caring, I should make my tools publicly available, free of charge.' This is the idea that drives the website.'

Not to be missed, is his site's Blog, where you will find an amazing trove of Mac security information, resources and a detailed overview of the ‘Mac malware' culture we now find ourselves confronted with.
And as you pointed out –– he has a big heart when it comes to pricing :-)
He very quietly points out (at the very bottom of his site pages), that donations are welcome; but nothing is ‘crippled'
Nice find.

It was bless -mount '/Volumes/Scott 's iMac G3/System Folder' -setBoot and don't worry, I don't and shouldn't upgrade, considering I am using a super powerful Windows laptop also being uninformed about the base features of Mac OS 9 and X. – Scott zuz22 Blacklock Mar 23 '16 at 3:00. Unfortunately, that's impossible to do with Mac OS X, at least with it's built-in software. There are some commerical applications to do that (like TechTool Pro), but I get a little pissed off when I have to spend a lot of money buying a software that does a zillion things when all I want is surface scans, and specially when I could do it with the 'old' OS and not with the new powerful.
