As long as you stick to unsubstantiated claims and vague links leading nowhere, I call you a troll spreading FUD.

Are you referring to opinions on Win32::Process::Hide, and think it's bad because hiding processes is what some malware does?

If yes, I must say that it's a tool, and there may well be legitimate use cases. Just like port scanners, which are sometimes slammed as "hacker tools", but really useful in practice. At the very least the module is not malicious in the sense that it does harm to your system without indicating so in the documentation.
