MacAppsHD

The MacAppsHD application is a dodgy utility that targets Mac users. Often, applications like the MacAppsHD tool end up on users’ systems via free software bundles.

As soon as the MacAppsHD utility is installed on your Mac, it will spawn a new ‘Launch Deamon,’ which will allow it to run every time the compromised system is restarted. The MacAppsHD application is listed as an adware program. This means that the MacAppsHD program will plant advertisements on every website that you launch. This will result in an increase in the number of advertisements you view when you browse the Web inevitably. The advertisements displayed by the MacAppsHD program may be banners, alerts, pop-ups, hyperlinks, etc. The products and services promoted by adware programs like the MacAppsHD tool are rarely of high-quality, so you are better off avoiding them.

Since the MacAppsHD adware program gains persistence on the compromised host, it should be removed via a reputable, up-to-date anti-malware solution, as removing it manually may be tricky.
