You can read the source. It's doing some pretty standard signature recognition. I wouldn't consider this untrustworthy, as much as useless. If you are a target of state intelligence services, you're likely owned already. If you're running Windows, then you're certainly owned. The people who could actually benefit from a tool like this (beyond the merely paranoid) have much bigger problems to worry about than anything this tool addresses.
