CreativeSearch

Apple's macOS continues to be targeted by adware developers because many Mac users continue to underestimate the importance of investing in a reliable and regularly updated anti-virus software suite for Mac. One of the latest Mac adware samples to be reported is called 'CreativeSearch' – users may install it by accident when interacting with low-quality software bundles, or if they fall for the false advertising techniques that may be used to promote programs like CreativeSearch.

Once CreativeSearch is installed, it will not bring any notable changes at first. However, as soon as a Web browser is opened, CreativeSearch will make sure to bombard it with various advertisements that may contain irrelevant content, affiliate links, suspicious products/services and even schemes. The CreativeSearch advertisements may appear as banners, hyperlinked words, redirects, hyperlinked text fragments, pop-ups, etc.

Needless to say, CreativeSearch is an intrusive piece of software that you should not allow to stay active. The best way to solve the issues it causes is to use an updated Mac anti-malware utility that is guaranteed to dispose of this adware's files.
