I just attempted to go to the DetectX web site and ran into this warning either from Safari Technology Preview or OpenDNS (I couldn't tell which) based on the WOT (Web Of Trust) rating for the site. I read the developers comments in jaybass' link but those are self serving and therefore not necessarily trustworthy. Until the developer can clear this up with WOT and others, I won't be installing DetectX. That's a shame as it looks like an interesting tool.

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
