Threat Database Mac Malware Actively Search

Actively Search

The Actively Search tool is an application targeting Mac users. This is a tool that may appear as a utility, which can help users search the Web more efficiently. However, this is merely a façade, as the Actively Search utility is adware designed for Mac systems.

Users who fail to pay attention to details during the installation process of new software are particularly vulnerable to adware like the Actively Search tool. This is what authors of adware rely on. Users tend to overlook what they agree to and may end up installing adware on their Macs without even realizing it. The Actively Search adware is a utility that will inject advertisements on the websites you visit. This means that whenever you try to browse a site, you will be greeted with all advertisement types – irritating alerts, flashing banners, pop-up windows, hyperlinks in text, etc. The significant increase in the number of advertisements you will view when you browse a page is very likely to impact your browsing quality negatively.

Adware should not be welcome on your Mac. Experts advise users to download and install a reputable anti-malware tool that will detect and remove any adware or other PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) from your computer swiftly and securely.
