AresLookup

If you see the entry 'AresLookup' while scrolling through your list of installed Mac applications, then you should use an anti-malware tool to ensure the full removal of this program immediately. The good news is that AresLookup is not threatening, but its presence on your computer is likely to be accompanied by undesired side effects, such as encountering a large number of advertisements while browsing the Web. This is because AresLookup functions as adware – it detects active Web browser instances and starts to inject its advertisements on top of the website you are viewing currently. The AresLookup Mac adware may use a wide range of advertising methods such as banners, hyperlinked words, redirects, alerts, pop-ups and more. Such behavior can be very disruptive, and the application responsible for it should be removed as soon as possible.

Users are likely to end up with the AresLookup adware on their computer by accident – this usually happens when they download non-trustworthy software bundles, fake installers/updaters, pirated software, etc. We advise you to be very careful with the files you download from the Internet and to be certain that your Mac system is protected by a suitable anti-virus utility.
