Do not buy iQuarantine X

From iQuarantine X website:


  • iQuarantine X is not a background script or a script that gets attached to files or folders.
  • iQuarantine X is the first application to make the LEOPARD FILE QUARANTINE ALERTS go away.
  • iQuarantine X is the easiest way to rid LEOPARD of all FILE QUARANTINE ALERTS.

So, if it's not a script, what is it (beside a scam) ?
It's a hack that binary patches a system framework (/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/CarbonCore) by short-circuiting the private function_FSAllocateQuarantineData.

So we have four good reasons not to buy it:

  1. It has an unacceptable upgrade policy.
  2. It binary patches a system framework.
  3. Developer does not reply to e-mails.
  4. You can disable the Leopard quarantine for free with an official technique.
