MacAppsHD

Posted: June 9, 2020

MacAppsHD is an intrusive Mac application that may often be installed alongside legitimate applications that have been placed in a low-quality software bundle. If MacAppsHD is present on your Mac, it will create a new 'Launch Daemon' whose purpose is to ensure that the intrusive utility will continue to run even when you restart your computer. The purpose of MacAppsHD is a simple one – it generates revenue for its creators by injecting advertisements in your Web browsing sessions. The advertising techniques that MacAppsHD uses may vary a lot, but, typically, adware like this one makes use of banners, pop-ups, redirects, hyperlinked words/sentences, and video advertisements.

Since the MacAppsHD adware applies several changes to your Mac configuration in order to gain persistence, it may be very difficult to eliminate it manually. The recommended way to uninstall MacAppsHD and its components is to use an up-to-date Mac security software suite.
