ProgressBoost
Summary
Following the typical behavior of the Adload family, the application also is targeted at Mac users, and its main goal is to generate monetary gains for its operators via intrusive and annoying means. Users should keep in mind that most adware, browser hijackers, and PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) in general are rarely distributed via normal means. Instead, they rely heavily on questionable tactics, with two of the most commonly encountered being shady software bundles and fake installers/updates. Once activated on the users Mac, ProgressBoost is likely to start generating numerous, unwanted advertisements. The advertisements also may try to convince users to install additional PUPs, by presenting them as genuinely useful applications.
