By GoldSparrow in Adware, Mac Malware

The TechAdviseSearch application is an adware program targeting Mac computers. Many adware applications masquerade as useful tools to trick users into installing them. At first glance, the TechAdviseSearch application may appear to be a tool that will help you resolve technical issues quickly. However, this is nothing more than an adware application whose only goal is to bombard you with unwanted advertisements every time you try to browse the Internet.

Some adware programs sneak into users’ computers via fake updates or installations. This is the case with the TechAdviseSearch utility. This adware program propagates via a bogus ‘Flash Player’ update. Users are urged to update their ‘Flash Player’ to view certain media content. However, installing the suggested software will not provide you with an update for an application. Instead, you will install the TechAdviseSearch adware application. Users who have installed the TechAdviseSearch utility on their Macs report a sharp spike in the advertisements they see when they browse the Web. This is due to the fact that the TechAdviseSearch utility will inject advertisements on every website that you try to visit – pop-up windows, banners, alerts, hyperlinks, etc.

If you want to remove the TechAdviseSearch utility from your computer, it is best to install a reputable anti-malware application that will locate and wipe out this adware program from your Mac swiftly and safely.
