FinderCleaner - 1.9

What danger does this software represent? - you provide it with your administrator password, and then Little Snitch catches it sending a ping request to members.home.nl using ICMP.

Beware people - "ping" is among the oldest and most common methods used by hackers to locate systems prior to further exploitation.

If you do need to use Finder Cleaner then make sure you are not connected to the internet at the time.

Don't trust an explanations from the creator of this spyware. There is no need for a tiny one-trick utility like this to call home.

As I replied to an earlier post the slowness is probably due to the fact that your password has to be retrieved from the keychain. This is by far the most resource heavy thing the program has to do. It probably varies per system how fast this is. On my iBook G4 1.2GHz it took 4.5 seconds after the dock icon stopped bouncing until I could choose a folder. Full launch time was 8.6 seconds before I could do anything. That's not exectly very slow by my standards but it might be slower on other systems.

I appreciate the mention of this issue and I'll try to do something about it. I'll at least include an option not to use the keychain as it could be faster in some cases.
