By GoldSparrow in Adware, Mac Malware

The SystemSpecial application is an adware utility targeting Mac computers. Applications like the SystemSpecial utility may sneak into your computer via a freeware bundle or with the help of a bogus software update.

Users who have had to deal with the SystemSpecial adware program have reported that they ended up installing this tool via a fake ‘Flash Player’ update. Often, conmen online would use bogus application updates or downloads to promote various PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) or even malware. Remember that if you want to update any application on your system, you should use the official website of the software dealer to avoid being tricked. The goal of the SystemSpecial adware program is to plant advertisements on the website that you visit. The advertisements affiliated with the SystemSpecial app are likely to come in a variety of forms – pop-ups, hyperlinks in text, alerts, banners and others. Make sure you avoid interacting with any of the advertisements spawned by the SystemSpecial adware program, as the products and services promoted may be of poor quality and dubious origin.

If you have installed the SystemSpecial adware program on your Mac computer, it is advisable to remove it. Since removing adware utilities manually may be rather tricky, users are advised to trust a genuine anti-malware application to locate and remove any issues that may be present.
