Not recommended. There's no reason to switch from Little Snitch.

And don't you just love metakine's support forum where users can interact with questions and answers. Oh wait. They don't have one and never did.

After nearly a year of testing them side-by-side, I've concluded that both apps suck (in particular, Little Snitch's developer seems to have just given up on continued improvement and now just takes the money and runs). TCPBlock works 10 times better than both, but it's a giant pain in the arse to use.

I delete HandsOff app just dragging it to trash. But, everytime I boot my Mac 2 messages by HandsOff appears telling me that I'm not with the right version and so on.
How can I get rid of this messages? Didn't I delete the app properly? Please, help!

Redownload the app, do not click install, and choose uninstall from the menu.

I have had zero use of this program since I purchased it as part of the MacUpdate Spring Bundle. What a waste of time and money.
Just write an install that works! And quit telling me to repair permissions (doesn't work) and find a file named /etc/sudoers. I can't find it!!!!!

As soon as I enable File Sharing in the Sharing Preferences, the machine freezes completely and has to be hard rebooted.
Unfortunately had to remove it. However, I like this app and would like to run it, especially as I paid for it. Is there anyone with a solution to this problem?

I have uninstalled and deleted and tried to install several times with the same result.
I have sent the install log to the developer but haven't heard back yet. I have a new Mac Book Air 13" and there was a small update to 10.6.7 that may be the problem. I purchased this as part of the MacUpdate Spring Bundle. All other programs installed flawlessly.
I am very frustrated.

Same for specifying port, protocol and IP address, only protocol and IP address remain, port is set to Any.
Strange...

The Apple Activity Monitor shows it using between 50-70% of the CPU. I turned off the new "show network activity in menu bar" feature, but it didn't help.

It fixes this problem. If you have problem booting, boot in safe mode (hold shift), uninstall HandsOff (see the advanced pane in the prefs), reboot normally, and install the new version.
You most probably have CS5 installed. Your system should run fine afterward.
If there is anything, don't hesitate to contact us !
