Good software for cleanign any undesirable malware and good suggestions on how to keep your mac safe, clear and free from any viruses or cyberattacks

The app is a bit basic from my perspective, I can’t see any additonal value different from what Clean my Mac already offered

Love the app!

Très efficace et léger

excellent experience

Acutally I do not know! That would be great to get an emial once a month with actions taken due to attacks or dubiour events.

I didn’t see the need for it, really, but I saw it was from MacPaw (the SetApp folks themselves) and figured I’d give it a go. Things were pretty quiet for the first few weeks, but recently App Tamer’s been alerting me that Moonlock’s been pegging my CPU at 95%, which isn’t great. But what I found worse than that is that there’s NO way to disable the thing — certainly not through the GUI. I would have been happy with something in preferences to dial it down a bit, or something. So then I tried to foce-quit everything Moonlock-related via Activity Monitor, but that had no effect. The ONLY thing that let me get rid of that annoying alert was uninstalling the app altogether. TO BE CLEAR: given the nature of the software itself, I can fully appreciate that it’s not “quittable”, as well as the fact that it’s gotta be very challenging to implement such complex software. That said, I could live with all the alerts, so it’s gotta go. I may check back in in 2027… if I remember ;)

I can’t begin to tell you how please I am with the progress that MacPaw has made with developing Moonlock! I feel fully confident that my Mac is protected with Moonlock. It also has the best UI of any Mac antivirus I have ever seen :-) The only thing I want to see, is Moonlock participating in independent lab test on sites such as AV-Test.org. Other than this, I highly recommend it.

Disapointing. I do the scans and never find anything wron. Yet I have Norton Ultimate and it is always finding and rempving bugs. Even Microsoft Defender finds Malware on my Mac. I cannot remember one single report from Moonlock that it had found Malware. I am sorry, but it does not appear to be up to the task.

An app that leaves residual services that want to run after uninstalled is malware in my opinion. These are a few examples from the console *after I uninstalled* the app. error 06:26:24.806689+1000 com.macpaw.moonlock.engine Failed to open service: 0xe00002d8: Caller lacks TCC authorization for Full Disk Access error 06:26:24.806622+1000 kernel System Policy: com.macpaw.moonlock.engine(545) deny(1) system-privilege 1016 error 06:26:25.810055+1000 com.macpaw.moonlock.engine Failed to open service: 0xe00002d8: Caller lacks TCC authorization for Full Disk Access error 06:26:26.422566+1000 kernel 1 duplicate report for System Policy: com.macpaw.moonlock.engine(545) deny(1) system-privilege 1016 error 06:26:26.814132+1000 kernel System Policy: com.macpaw.moonlock.engine(545) deny(1) system-privilege 1016

Impossible to desinstall it. Moonlock helper doesn’t stop. iMac so slow .

Awful, it took from me a whole day to uninstall. Why would I want an app that "inspects" for malware but can not be uninstalled by itself??? Terrible, DON'T INSTALL IT. WILL MAKE YOUR LAPTOP TERRIBLY SLOW AND WHEN YOU WANT TO REMOVE YOU WILL WANT TO TEAR YOURSELF

Wonderful app! Love anything from MacPaw!

Keep getting an error that Moonlock is locked

good

Liked the concept but the Moonlock helper slowed my mac to a crawl and drained the battery - Something is very amiss with this at the moment

Very well done program that is easy to use and best of all does it’s job well without excess fluff.

Great App! Love the design and how unobtrusive it is

extremely intensive on power

Great!
