Threat Database Mac Malware MainBoardSearch

MainBoardSearch

The MainBoardSearch application is a Mac utility that may present itself as a helpful tool that will enhance users’ browsing quality. However, this is nothing more than a trick that is designed to mislead users into installing this fake application. The MainBoardSearch is adware, and it is not advised to install such software on your Mac.

Authors of adware often propagate it via free software bundles. If the users are not extra careful while installing the applications in the bundle, they may agree to install adware on their computers. Another commonly used trick is to distribute adware via fake Flash Player updates or download advertisements. The installation window is designed to look like one of the legitimate Adobe services. However, we can assure you that it has nothing to do with the Adobe company or products. The MainBoardSearch adware will prove to be quite an irritating pest once it is installed on your Mac. You will begin seeing a sharp increase in advertisements when you browse the Web, as this dodgy application spawns advertisements in all shapes and forms. The advertisements displayed by the MainBoardSearch utility may come in the shape of oversized banners, flashing alerts, hyperlinks in text, pop-up windows, etc.

Adware like the MainBoardSearch utility has the potential to reduce your browsing quality significantly. This is why malware experts advise users to remove the MainBoardSearch adware from their Macs with the help of a suitable anti-malware solution.
