Summary
Unscrupulous people are spreading these PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) with the goal of earning monetary gains via the delivery of annoying advertisements. Affected users will notice a drastic uptick in the advertisements encountered during browsing or sometimes even simply using the Mac. Another crucial fact about advertisements delivered by unproven sources is that they are likely to be promoting untrustworthy destinations, services or software products. Indeed, infosec researchers warn that the advertisements associated with adware applications could lead to phishing portals, fake giveaways, platforms spreading additional browser hijackers, adware, PUPs or even compromised websites. In this case, removal could prove to be tricky, unless a professional security solution is used to clean the device.
