CrowdExclusive

Posted: February 27, 2020

CrowdExclusive is an adware application for Mac devices. It is spread via online advertisements and pop-ups that may pose as urgent updates for important software suites, but, in reality, you will end up downloading a fake installer that will deploy CrowdExclusive's files to your computer. This software is installed in the background, and it will not create any noticeable icons that may give out its presence and activity. What it does, however, is to make sure that you will end up exposed to tons of advertisements while browsing the Internet, regardless of your preferred Web browser.

The CrowdExclusive adware is able to inject in-text advertisements, banners, pop-ups, alerts, notifications, and full-page overlays that may promote all kinds of content – blogs, videos, media, software, services, online stores, promotions, coupon codes and others. Needless to say, advertisements that are delivered via shady software like CrowdExclusive should not be trusted blindly. It is strongly recommended to avoid visiting unknown advertisements that seem to be out of place, especially if you suspect that they may have been spawned by a 3rd-party application.

If you think that you might be seeing an increased number of advertisements because of adware like CrowdExclusive, then it is advisable to run a Mac-compatible anti-malware tool that will check your hard drive and processes for any suspicious activity.
