Mac Adware Cleaner Ads

Users Face Bogus Mac Adware Cleaner Ads

If you are facing Mac Adware Cleaner Ads, a potentially unwanted program must be active on your Mac operating system. According to our research, there are two different PUPs that are likely to be running on your computer: Mac Adware Cleaner or Advanced Mac Cleaner. Although both of them are represented via separate websites, both of them share the same Privacy Policy, and both of them display the same contact details, which include an address and a phone number. Needless to say, this means that these programs were created by the same company. Unfortunately, both of them are unreliable, and both of them were created to scam you. At the moment, the website representing the PUP we are focusing on this report, macadwarecleaner.com, is blocked by some browsers indicating that it is malicious. However, the website promoting Advanced Mac Cleaner, advancedmaccleaner.com, is not. Regardless, you should stay away from both of them. If you have downloaded these programs, delete them ASAP. Continue reading to learn how to remove Mac Adware Cleaner Ads from your browser.

According to our research team, Mac Adware Cleaner Ads are most like to appear on Safari, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browsers, which, as you might know, are the most popular browsers that are compatible with Mac OS. If you visit macadwarecleaner.com via either of these browsers, you should be warned that the website is malicious, which, of course, is a red flag you cannot ignore! According to the information represented on this site, Mac Adware Cleaner is a highly beneficial tool that can keep your operating system (Mac OS X 10.8 and up) adware and malware-free. This program should even disable pop-ups representing ads and scams. Obviously, that is a lie because Mac Adware Cleaner Ads start showing up soon after installing this program, and they are not reliable. The application should also optimize your operating system by clearing disk space. Unfortunately, all of these promises are bogus, and they are only meant to trick you into installing the useless program. Note that the official source is not the only source you can acquire the bogus program from, and third-party installers could be employed.

Once Mac Adware Cleaner is installed, it is likely to expose you to suspicious advertisements, as well as bogus security warnings. They are most likely to push you into purchasing the full version of the program. At the time of research, this fake system optimizer/adware remover was offered for 49.95 USD. Additionally, a program called “Mac Space Reviver” was offered alongside for a total price of 99.95 USD. We do not advise installing either of these programs, and if you have already, remove them. Although the misleading security alerts might stop showing up once the creator of Mac Adware Cleaner gets your money, that is the only good thing that can come out of you paying the fee. We recommend ignoring Mac Adware Cleaner Ads and fictitious security alerts until you eliminate the program responsible for them. After you get rid of this undesirable program, you should scan your operating system using a legitimate malware scanner to check if you are dealing with any real security risks.

The instructions below show how to quit the processes representing the undesirable programs, how to remove them, and, finally, how to reset your browsers. The last step is very important because you want to get rid of all traces of the suspicious Mac Adware Cleaner. If you take all steps with caution, you should have Mac Adware Cleaner Ads deleted right away. What about all other threats. If the PUP was installed onto your computer bundled with additional infections, you would have to handle them separately, and the guide below is unlikely to help. The first step for you is to identify all threats, which is something a reliable scanner compatible with Mac OS can help you with. Once you know what you are facing, you can research the threats and find the best way to eliminate them. Obviously, a legitimate anti-malware tool is the best instrument you can use because it can delete all infections at once. When choosing the malware cleaner, make sure you do your research to avoid installing inadequate or malicious software.
