BlockBlock

BlockBlock provides continual protection by monitoring persistence locations on a Mac. Malware often installs itself persistently so that it runs automatically after a restart or login, and BlockBlock watches the common places where that can happen.

When a new persistent item is added, it shows an alert so you can decide whether to allow or block it. It is for Mac users who want to know what installs itself in the background.

Highlights

• Monitors common persistence locations and alerts when a new persistent component is added
• Alert shows the responsible process, its code signing information and VirusTotal detections
• Allow or block each item, with rules that remember your choice
• Blocking removes the persisted item from the file system
• Optional extra protections, including notarization checks and blocking downloaded scripts
