You will find them referred to in that way on many forums .
I noticed an earlier post today from a new member , indicating that Grub Customizer may have caused
boot problems .
For anyone relatively new to Linux ( and even experienced but non-geeky users ) I would offer this advice :-
Stay away from Grub Customizer and Bleachbit , and avoid installing any AV ( eg Clam , Bitdefender for Linux )
In the case of the first two , the GUI shows many options ( check boxes ) , and unless the user understands
each and EVERY option , I recommend not using those app at all .
As for installing an AV , it simply isn't necessary or even helpful In Linux .
Sure , they will function , but they may simply bomb you with baffling false positives ....
.... rkhunter is a classic example .
It seems to me that the people look for these types of app are usually "dyed in the wool " Windows users
and haven't fully grasped just how different Linux systems are compared with those from MS .
Clearly this is a personal opinion and I welcome all discussion and comments ....
.... just my two kurus worth !
