Question

System software from developer "Coriolis System Limited" was blocked

Recently while I was deleting some old files that were cluttering up my

macbook I came across this alarming from my security and privacy, it

read that an old program made by Coriolis System Limited has been

blocked from running. Which is odd by, since I knew for sure that the

program known as iDefrag/iPartition was deleted. I even checked, but

apparently a program still lingers, now I need help. Cause I'm worried

this might be a virius in disguise, is there any fix to this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

No, this is not a virus, nor is it malware. Also, as the message says, it was blocked and not in use.

In recent versions of macOS, when a program wants to install a kernel extension, this extension will only be installed if you specifically give permission for it. Since you didn't, that extension was blocked.

All safe and good.

To get rid of it completely, the easiest way would have to use the uninstaller provided by the developers, but we can also do it manually.

Okay, but how do I manually uninstall this kernel extension. Cause at the moment I want it completely gone, but when I check how to uninstall kernel extensions they always lead to unfamiliar answers or solutions that are confusing to follow.

Coriolis Systems is no longer in business, though their website remains.

In Finder, press Command-Shift-G and paste
