Maybe it's just me but the idea that my computer lets Apple (+ any LE organizations) surveil my app launches seems so much scarier than any malware.

Why is it scary that your computer checks for malware?

It’s not like Apple us building a database of apps you’ve launched linked to your address and social security number.

Linked to your identity if you have a credit card saved for say iTunes.

Any proof of that audacious claim?

Any proof of that audacious claim?

Proof that if you are signed into any of their cloud services they know who you are? Is this a serious question?

And that that service is using the malware detection data?
