AristotleLookup

Posted: May 1, 2020

AristotleLookup is an application that affects Mac computers where it may offer a supposed Flash Player Install and/or update for the Mac operating system. Such a claim of a software update for Flash Player in itself is questionable as Flash Player is one of the most exploited apps for malicious software.

In some instances, the AristotleLookup may be loaded due to installing other software on a Mac, usually from a bundled installation package. Those who give into the pop-up alerts of AristotleLookup may inadvertently load the components associated with AristotleLookup, which can then load malicious files and a fake Flash Player Update notification.

The detection and removal of AristotleLookup is usually a process that can be accomplished successfully through the use of an antimalware resource capable of detecting and removing threats on a Mac computer.
