When a program unknown to FileDefense is accessing files, FileDefense automatically alerts you to accept or deny the activity. Every file the application opens is questioned, giving you full control of whether to allow the application to access the document in question, thereby limiting the damage an application can do if it is malicious, according to the folks at SubRosaSoft. To allow an application to access the data, click “Allow†when prompted. Alternately, you may just "Kill†the process to stop any suspect activity.
FileDefense comes with a customizable list of "trusted" applications. To add a new application to the trusted list, drag and drop the icon of the new application to the FileDefense window, allowing the new application to access any document without triggering FileDefense.
The software is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger") and 10.5 ("Leopard"). It costs US$69.95 plus shipping for a CD version and $59.95 for a downloadable version.
