Threat Database Mac Malware DiscoverResults

DiscoverResults

DiscoverResults is the name of a newly spotted utility, which is compatible with Mac systems. If you do not recall installing the DiscoverResults application yourself, it is likely that you have installed a free software bundle recently, which has planted the dodgy application on your system without you noticing.

Sadly, the DiscoverResults application will not enhance your browsing quality. In fact, it is likely to diminish it. This is because the sole purpose of the DiscoverResults tool is to present users with marketing content instead of offering them helpful features and services. If the DiscoverResults application is installed on your Mac, you have likely experienced unexpected redirects to various third-party websites. This is part of the marketing scheme of the DiscoverResults tool. You also may have noticed an increase in the number of advertisements you see when you browse the Internet. This is all due to the activity of the DiscoverResults application. The DiscoverResults tool gains persistence on its host by setting up a new ‘Launch Daemon.’ This way, every time you reboot your Mac, the DiscoverResults application will be executed.

To remove the DiscoverResults application from your Mac computer, it is recommended to scan your system with the help of a legitimate anti-malware utility compatible with your OSX.
