Threat Database Mac Malware WebAdvancedSearch

WebAdvancedSearch

The WebAdvancedSearch application is an application developed for Mac computers. The creators of the WebAdvancedSearch application are promoting it as an optimization tool for users' Web browsers. Even though the WebAdvancedSearch application authors are promoting it as a helpful utility that will boost your browsing quality, unfortunately, this is not the case. The only goal of the WebAdvancedSearch application is to alter your Web browser's configurations to set up an affiliated site as your default new tab page.

By setting up a third-party site as your default new tab page, the WebAdvancedSearch application will aid it in generating traffic, and therefore revenue. This third-party page serves as a search aggregator. Unfortunately, the search engine promoted by the WebAdvancedSearch utility is not likely to provide you with the organic results of your search queries.

If you do not remember installing the WebAdvancedSearch application on your Mac, it is likely that it was delivered via a fake application installer, a misleading ad, a free software bundle, etc. The WebAdvancedSearch utility is considered to be a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program), so it is advisable to remove it from your computer with the help of an up-to-date, trustworthy anti-malware solution.
