FocusProvide

FocusProvide is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that only works on devices running Apple's OSX. The good news is that this program is not harmful. However, it also is not helpful at all – in fact, users who install FocusProvide may not notice any improvements in terms of their ability to search and navigate the Web, even though these are supposed to be FocusProvide's main features. In reality, the purpose of FocusProvide is to promote several websites by setting them as the Web browser's default new tab page or search engine, as well as by causing redirects to these websites on a random basis.

FocusProvide may run whenever the computer starts, therefore ensuring that the user will keep stumbling upon these unwanted websites at all times. PUPs like this one are not threatening, but their removal is still recommended strongly. If the FocusProvide application is present on your Mac OSX device, then we suggest that you take care of its removal by running a trustworthy security product.

To prevent future encounters with annoying PUPs like this one, you should keep your computer protected by a reliable anti-malware tool. Furthermore, you should avoid downloading software from unknown or unsafe websites since these often may be used to distribute adware, PUPs or other annoying applications.
