He claims that this program tests computer's performance, but it adds itself to startup, modify processes. Therefore, it doesn't math description and it's malicious.

Question: Why would anyone trust him from his reputation alone?

I honestly would not be surprised if CodyPkz were infecting users at this point, sadly.
If this is legitimate and he very well is than I personally thank you ahead of time for noticing this when no one else had.
There has been a large activity spike of users ranging from trusted to non-trusted either successfully or attempting to infect users of HF for which ever reason. It's very saddening..

I don't see how any one could fall for this kind of stuff, if it doesn't run on Sandboxie, it's infected simply.

It seems to be taken care of now. Thanks for reporting, but you could of just reported the post as "Infected Download Link" and the same thing would of happened.
