MacRemover.C

MacRemover.C has been classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) for Mac computers. It looks like it spreads around as an application named MacRemover for macOS that is supposed to help users remove undesired Mac apps from their system without any trace. Such a feature is already available in every operating system, so MacRemover is, in the very best case, unnecessary. Yet, it is not advisable to keep that application installed on your computer as it may bring along many cybersecurity risks.

Some malicious features of PUPs include pop-up messages that are displayed directly on the user’s computer. These pop-ups could contain all sorts of advertising material, yet they usually promote potentially hazardous products and services on the Internet through embedded redirecting scripts. For example, MacRemover.C may show you fake offers and coupons, bogus online surveys and quizzes where you can win attractive prizes, or it may send you to a compromised page that installs severe malware on its visitors’ computers. Additionally, some PUPs like MacRemover.C have data-tracking features to extract sensitive user data, like login credentials, addresses, or credit card information.

Manual removal of MacRemover.C can be challenging for inexperienced users; therefore, we recommend choosing a reputable anti-malware application that can automatically detect and remove PUPs from your Mac.
