BlockBlock, despite being a lightweight tool, is a very sophisticated software solution for your Mac that is designed to monitor if any newly installed apps will add new kernel extensions, launch daemons, start agents and new login items.
Once installed on your Mac, BlockBlock will seamlessly integrate itself on the menu bar, from where you can either enable or disable it with just a few clicks or you can simply uninstall it altogether.
So here’s what you need to know: each time BlockBlock will detect a persistent component that can pose a threat to your Mac’s security and well-functioning, you will be informed with the help of a simple alert.
The alert will contain the name, path and other advanced information about the detected component. From here onwards, you have two options by either clicking the “Block” or the “Allow” buttons.
If you don’t trust the software and click “Block” button, then BlockBlock will attempt to remove the persistent component as follows: for the kernel extensions it will get rid of its kext bundle, for any launch item, it will make scarce with the binary and plist files, and for the login items, it will remove the binary from the login item collection.
By now, we hope that it’s clear how important an apparently simple application like BlockBlock can be for your Mac’s security. However, there may be times when you wish to concentrate on other tasks without being interrupted by nagging alerts.
To this end, you can enable the app's passive mode, which logs all persistence events but does not display any notifications. The logging function can also be activated manually, at any time.
This is an easy-to-use, lightweight OS X app that can help you stop malware in its tracks before it does any harm. Thus, we definitely recommend that you have BlockBlock within hand’s reach on your Mac, so you can effortlessly get rid of malware that installs itself in persistent locations.
