Threat Database Mac Malware DataSearchLauncher

DataSearchLauncher

The DataSearchLauncher application is a utility compatible only with Mac computers. This application may market itself as a helpful tool designed to improve your browsing quality, but you can rest assured that this is not the case.

The DataSearchLauncher application's goal is not to provide you with good service but to hijack your Web browser. Whenever you try to search the Web, the DataSearchLauncher application is likely to redirect you to an affiliated website that hosts a basic search aggregator. The DataSearchLauncher tool is designed to aid the affiliated page in generating traffic and revenue. If you use the website associated with the DataSearchLauncher application, you will likely notice an increase in the number of advertisements that you come across. The DataSearchLauncher tool would apply changes to the settings of your Mac without asking for your consent first, which is why it is considered to be a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program).

There is no reason to keep a browser hijacker like the DataSearchLauncher application on your system. It is recommended to remove this PUP from your computer with the help of a genuine anti-virus tool that is compatible with your Mac.
