Two ways:
- Because you cannot remove the .app file yourself, you need a decent uninstaller like iTrash or AppDelete. They will force it to delete and it works every time, even with locked apps like this. Succesfully removed it on macOS10.12
- Write a small AppleScript (if the script editor is locked too, use another system) and save it as a AppleScript:
tell application "System Events"
try
do shell script "killall MacAppBlocker"
delete login item "MacAppBlocker"
end try
end tell
Run the scripts and gone is the protection.
Beside the poor protection, even for an average user, the app itself is badly written. It leaks a LOT of memory.
It does sometimes locks up the CPU with high peak usages, which seems random.
On top I found two apps that it did not want to lock.
It is too bulky and counterproductive GUI.
Even for free this is not worth using.
How many Macs can I install App Blocker on with a single license purchase?
Thank you.
