Moonlock

Moonlock is a cybersecurity product developed by MacPaw, focused specifically on protecting Mac devices from malware and other security threats. The application provides a malware scanner that offers users the ability to run deep scans of their systems to detect malicious files, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), adware, and other threats that could compromise a Mac's performance and security. Beyond scanning and removing threats, Moonlock includes a real-time protection feature that continuously monitors files as they are downloaded, aiming to prevent malicious software from being installed in the first place. Detected threats are isolated into a quarantine area, allowing users to review and remove them. In addition to its software product, Moonlock operates an educational content platform that publishes articles on cybersecurity topics relevant to Mac users, including guides on identifying and removing potentially unwanted programs, browser hijackers, keyloggers, and other malware families. This content is aimed at helping everyday consumers understand security risks and take preventive measures. The company's target audience is primarily individual Mac users seeking consumer-grade antivirus and anti-malware protection, rather than enterprise security teams. Moonlock offers a free trial of its application, with subscription-based access following the trial period.
