The NationalSpecial tool is yet another adware program designed to target Mac users specifically. This application may present itself as a useful utility, but do not be fooled – the only goal of the NationalSpecial application is to bombard you with advertisements.

Applications like the NationalSpecial adware program tend to sneak into users’ computers via free software bundles. Be very careful when you install freeware bundles, as you may agree to install additional software that you may not need or want accidentally. The NationalSpecial adware program also is known to be propagated via fake software updates. Users report having come across a fraudulent ‘Flash Player’ update that ended up installing the NationalSpecial adware application on their computers. Having adware on your Mac can be very frustrating. Its goal is to inject advertisements on each and every Web page you visit. Some of the advertisements may overlay important parts of the page, preventing you from accessing all the contents on the site. Furthermore, the advertisements are likely to push dodgy products and low-quality services, so it is best to ignore them. Advertisements spawned by adware programs like the NationalSpecial tool may be in the shape of hyperlinks in articles, pop-ups, big banners, various alerts, etc.

If you have installed the NationalSpecial adware program on your Mac, it is advisable to remove it. Adware utilities may be difficult to remove manually, so it is best to trust a genuine anti-malware application.
