Threat Database Mac Malware OperativeField

OperativeField

The OperativeField application is a dodgy Mac utility, which will not improve your browsing quality in any manner. The OperativeField application is distributed via bogus downloads and freeware bundles. Users who install freeware are advised to pay close attention during the installation process as they may unknowingly consent to other software being installed on their system. The goal of the OperativeField utility is to trick the user into installing it by accident, as most users would not install this dodgy tool purposefully.

When the OperativeField app is installed on your Mac, it will make sure to gain persistence by modifying the Mac's Device Profile and Launch Daemon settings. The OperativeField application will introduce changes to your system without asking for your permission. This would classify the OperativeField app as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). The purpose of the OperativeField tool is to set up an affiliated website as your default Web browser search aggregator. Thanks to this, every time you try to search the Web, you will be redirected to the site affiliated with the dodgy OperativeField application.

If you want to reverse the changes applied to your system by the OperativeField tool, it is best to remove this PUP with the assistance of a genuine, modern anti-virus solution.
