Little Snitch was too prone to instability, and often cause me kernel panics ver the years, and along with HandsOff I just found they were too intrusive with the constant pop-ups to confirm everyday and expected network connections. I've also looked at other security tools too, such as Little Snitch, HandsOff and more recently Murus and Vallum. Most recently I've used Sophos, but that just stopped many websites from working at all, and caused noticeable performance hits - although not as bad as some others.

I've tried all of the free malware options too, but haven't found a single one of them yet that hasn't impacted my system or day-to-day operation of my Mac adversely in some way - most cause system slowdowns, and many cause other issues that prevent normal things from working.

Norton software, despite being the best utility software on Classic OS, became some of the worst software for OSX. However, I stopped using Intego software after they started using 'proof of concept' scares to boost sales. I have use commercial offerings some time ago, namely Intego and Norton. It's also worth noting that BlockBlock is still showing as Beta software, so should be treated with some caution. I've actually downloaded a load of the apps - although to me what he has done it probably a bit 'geeky' for the average user (could also do with tidying up some typos on the site texts). On the face of it, it seems that this guy knows a bit about this. You had me curious about BlockBlock, so had a look at the site. I don't think that it is as intrusive as some others that I have used in the past.

I think that he is up front about what his code is doing in the background. Patrick Wardle has a variety of free security-related tools. But I try to keep an open mind and I review new offerings and suggestions I read about online.Ĭheck out the Objective-See webpage. I've used many of the major anti-virus programs and I have generally found them to be more trouble than they are worth. But I found them to be too intrusive while I worked and again, it's only good for when you are already infected. I used to use LittleSnitch and then HandsOff!. I do my best to keep my Macs invisible to prying eyes searching for a weakness in my network. I use a VPN, Cookie, Disconnect/uBlock/AdBlock Plus/Ghostery in my web browser, data encryption and now BlockBlock.
Their junk mail filtering is excellent and seems to be getting even better over the past year.
A number of years ago I moved my email accounts to based in Norway. Partly it's how I have managed my public and private email accounts for the past 20+ years. I rarely receive junk mail and I cannot recall the last time I received email with an attachment. The only argument against such 'security' software is that the more software you have installed, the more, potentially vulnerable code you have, which is exacerbated by the often very intrusive rights of these tools. Security is always a very multi-layer thing, and this looks like another useful layer (like other things like Gatekeeper, Little Snitch, email junk filters, Ghostery, etc.). My anti-malware scanner occasionally finds malware in attachments in junk email I have received (though my junk email filter always had already 'quarantined' the emails in question). I have used BlockBlock for around six months and it hasn't caused any problems. Unlike some anti-viral software, it doesn't gum-up the installation process (which defeats the purpose of automatic scanning) or use a lot of system resources. BlockBlock makes it quick and easy to allow such software to be installed. Many programs that are not malware include a persistent component. There are easy to understand instructions at the link I provided. You can use it to determine if the installer can be trusted or is of suspicious origin and should be avoided while you get more info or simply trash it. What is different about BlockBlock is that it is helpful even when the malware hasn't already been discovered and added to virus lists. It can also determine if the installer contains known malware. It works in the background and alerts the user when an installer includes a "persistent component," which is necessary for malware to be automatically re-excuted upon reboot. I prefer to prevent the installation of malware and adware rather than scan for it after it is already on my computer.
