BTW: If you have an anti-malware app that was set off by DaisyDisk v4.12, I personally suggest you get a better, more discerning brand. Any other versions of DaisyDisk will NOT set off lame anti-malware apps. I will think about what else can be done in this regard.' - NOTE: At this time, the false positive was only triggered version 4.21. For the moment the best solution would be to unblock DaisyDisk manually in your antivirus. Though it does not have as many features as CleanMyMac, all of its features are the most useful. It was designed to be easy to use and cost-effective. The “pup” simply means potentially unwanted programs. Whether you know or have heard of BuhoCleaner or not, frankly speaking, it is the most affordable and practical alternative to CleanMyMac. As ridiculous as it sounds, Appesteem refused to remove DaisyDisk from the said list, even after my detailed explanation, and proceeded to feed this list to the AVs, which seems to have caused the problem. By the “deception”, as it follows from their website, they mean that DaisyDisk locks some of its functions in the free trial mode. Here is his response: - 'It has recently come to my attention that some AVs are relying on a self-proclaimed third-party service called Appesteem which chose to include DaisyDisk in their list of so-called “deceptor” apps. I wrote to the developer about the false positive of version 4.21. Other interesting open source alternatives to DaisyDisk are Baobab Disk Usage Analyzer, ncdu, DiskUsage and SquirrelDisk. If that doesnt suit you, our users have ranked more than 50 alternatives to DaisyDisk and 15 is open source so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. All versions of DaisyDisk, except v4.21 have NOT been so identified. The best open source alternative to DaisyDisk is WinDirStat.

It was listed as 'Agent.G' or 'PuAgent-CD' or similar Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP or similar category). FALSELY listed as 'malware': For those concerned: Version v4.21 of DaisyDisk was the victim of a FALSE POSITIVE by some of the less scrupulous anti-malware programs.
