RequestTop

RequestTop is the name of a shady application that targets Mac computers exclusively. If you do not remember installing it, it is likely due to the fact that this dodgy utility is distributed via free software bundles and fake application downloads.

The goal of the RequestTop application is not to boost your browsing experience but to set up an affiliated website as your default search engine. Since the RequestTop app will apply changes to your system's settings without your consent, it is considered to be a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program). If the RequestTop utility is installed on your Mac, all your Web searchers will be redirected to the site affiliated with the dubious application. To gain persistence on the host, the RequestTop tool will tamper with Mac's Launch Daemon.

If you want to remove the RequestTop application from your Mac, you should use the help of an up-to-date, trustworthy anti-spyware solution as ridding yourself of it manually may prove to be rather tricky.
