Vastvista

There have been countless parasites created to plague macOS users lately. One of them that was uncovered recently is named Vastvista. Vastvista belongs to the infamous AdLoad family of adware, which has been targeting Mac users all the time, unmercifully. Vastvista can have access to a computer when its users download and install pirated software, try to apply fake updates, and via another of the countless ways to deliver PUPs and adware to a targeted computer.

When inside a computer or Mac device, the Vastviosta will release numerous files, as a way to gain persistence on the affected machine, and steer clear of Mac's built-in defenses. Vastvista comprises two elements: the main application, which will be installed on a system level and the browser extension that will add itself to Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc., which will end up changing the browser setting radically. The affected user can expect to have a new homepage, search provider and tab address.

The goal of Vastvist is to exhibit sponsored advertisements that, when clicked, can redirect the affected user to unsafe places. Vastvista also can track the users' information, including accounts login data and even credit card details Vastvista should be removed upon detection.
