EngineSearch

Seeing the name EngineSearch in your list of installed Mac applications is a small issue since this means that a piece of adware is active on your computer. The good news is that such software is not unsafe, but it may often be responsible for the presence of unwanted advertisements and websites in your Web browser. EngineSearch may have been brought to your computer when you were installing a pirated game, a low-quality software bundle or if you fell for a fake advertisement. Once EngineSearch is up and running, it will make sure to gain persistence by manipulating the Mac Launch Daemon. Thanks to this small change, EngineSearch will run whenever your computer boots up.

For as long as EngineSearch is active, you may see an increased number of advertisements in your browser. These advertisements may often promote questionable products and services, and it is not a good idea to trust their content. On top of its adware behavior, EngineSearch also may redirect your searches to 3rd-party search aggregators like Safe Finder – this means that you may not always receive quality search results.

EngineSearch is not a helpful utility, and it has nothing to bring to the table. If you think this Mac application is present on your system, we recommend ensuring its removal with the assistance of a Mac-compatible security tool.
