  This guy came out of nowhere last week to sell Chinese
software. He's just posting the same nonsense over and
over.

  Oddly, the Toolwiz website actually admits they're Chinese.
A government dedicated to dishonesty, duplicitousness, and
invasion of other countries... a government that won't allow
an independently run company**... nevertheless admits to who they
are on their website... and then they want you to install their stuff.
Most of their products are actually for Android. Chinese phone
apps. What could go wrong?

** Just ask Timmy Cook, who was required to let the Chinese
gov't control personal data for Chinese customers... not that Cook
minds selling out his customers, as long as Apple's making more
money. I expect he probably defends it as "respecting foreign
cultures". After all, who doesn't love diversity? :)
