Browser viruses on Mac. What is it and how to remove it
Good afternoon, fellow poppy growers! I once wrote about a virus on Mac - VSearch, which a couple of my friends got. Back then I didn’t think that the problem of adware would develop on the Mac, but time has put everything in its place. Alas, every now and then I was approached with a request to rid the browser of advertising messages that terribly interfere with work. And now I want to talk more about Adware - what it is, how to get rid of it and how not to infect your Mac with such malware!
What is Adware?
If we open Wikipedia, we will see the following: Adware
(English
ad
,
advertisement
- “advertising” and
software
- “software”) - software containing advertising. Also, the term “adware” refers to malicious software whose main purpose is to display advertisements while the computer is running. That is, this type of program is not a virus as such, since it does not infect your files, does not spread throughout the computer and does not send itself to everyone.
What does Adware do?
Adware forces you to launch a myriad of advertisements and pop-ups in your browser! Imagine that you want to go to mail.ru or the search engine yandex.ru/google.com, and you have advertising coming at you from all sides, although in normal times there are no more than 2-3 banners! Even the installed AdBlock cannot cope - the numbers on the indicator go up and after some time they can exceed a couple of hundred! In addition to pop-up windows, you may also experience inadequate Internet searches. If you start searching for something through google.com, then the first 3-4 top links will lead to an unknown place: to dubious advertising sites and other nasty things... Again, the search engine itself does not break and there will be search results below, but when you click on them, the background the wrong sites will still open
