The creators of the TotalLetterSearch application are promoting it as a helpful tool that will aid users in getting more relevant results whenever they search the Web. However, this is far from reality, as malware analysts have classified the TotalLetterSearch application as adware. The TotalLetterSearch application targets Mac computers.

It is probable that the creators of the TotalLetterSearch are distributing this fake application via bogus updates for the Adobe Flash Player utility. Another commonly utilized method is freeware bundles. Often, legitimate free applications are bundled up with PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) or adware. Users who rush through the installation process and do not keep an eye on all the information on the screen, are likely to agree to install adware or PUPs on their Macs unknowingly. Some users may not notice that there is adware on their computers until they try to browse the Web. If you have installed adware on your Mac, you are likely to notice a sharp increase in the number and variety of advertisements you are displayed with whenever you open a website. This is due to the fact that adware like the TotalLetterSearch application will inject sizeable banners, flashing alerts, frustrating pop-up windows, hyperlinks in text, and other advertisements on every Web page that you attempt to browse. Avoid engaging with the advertisements linked to the activity of adware. The TotalLetterSearch application may be promoting low-quality products and shady services, so it is best to ignore these advertisements.

To remove the TotalLetterSearch utility or any other PUP that may be installed on your Mac, you should consider installing a genuine anti-virus application that will detect and remove any issues quickly.
