    Can a normal user locate it? If so, how?

    A normal user probably could. Which means that clearly, you can not.

    Just do your usual "I don't understand it, therefore it must be evil" retarded logic and reformat/reinstall MacOS again.

    Idiot.

    Go away.

    No.

    I've been looking for a place where EtreCheck might store information on a user's computer - *out of sight*, as it were.

    A back-door that nobody would notice.

    I've found no evidence of HOW John Daniel (Etresoft) makes a living.
    Certainly not by giving away his software for free!

    You're an online stalker/harasser.

    No.

    Can you explain this pie chart, drawn up by EtreCheck - the paid-for
    version?

    What does the red sector signify?

    Have you actually read here? https://sites.google.com/site/howtotellifyourmacishacked/is-etrecheck-malware

    "What better way to disguise malware than as a "friendly checkup" app
    that helps you diagnose "beach-balling" and remove "bloatware"? In
    computing, a trojan horse is defined as a program designed to breach the security of a computer system while ostensibly performing some innocuous function. Who would think that something that is supposed to fix
    problems is actually a problem itself? There have similarly been cases
    of virus scan software that actually was malware itself."

    Can a normal user locate it? If so, how?

    A normal user probably could. Which means that clearly, you can not.

    Just do your usual "I don't understand it, therefore it must be evil" retarded
    logic and reformat/reinstall MacOS again.

    I'm now quite adept at reformatting and reinstalling my macOS!
