PlusAbout

The PlusAbout application is an adware program that targets Mac users. The PlusAbout utility is a tool that is likely delivered via low-quality software bundles or bogus application installers. This dodgy application may claim to enhance your browsing quality but will do none of the sorts. The purpose of the PlusAbout application is to hijack your Web browser.

When the PlusAbout application is installed on your Mac, it will go behind your back to change your Web browser's settings. This shady activity qualifies the PlusAbout application as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). The PlusAbout PUP will redirect users to the 'Safe Finder' search engine every time they try to execute a search query of any type. The 'Safe Finder' search aggregator is not a harmful site, but it is not likely to offer you excellent service. Using the 'Safe Finder' search engine is not likely to return the most relevant search results for your online queries.

If you want to remove the PlusAbout PUP from your Mac, it is best to do it via a reputable anti-malware utility compatible with OSX. This is due to the fact that the PlusAbout application will create a new 'Launch Daemon' and 'Device Profile,' which will make manual removal rather difficult.
