PlusAbout

PlusAbout is a Mac application that does not appear to have a variant for the Windows operating system. This is an application classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) – it can apply unwanted changes to your system and browser settings. It may not be easy to remove manually. Users may end up with the PlusAbout on their Macs even though they do not recall accepting to install it – this is because the program is being spread via misleading instructions and promises, as well as with the help of low-quality software bundles that may silently install PlusAbout's files.

Once PlusAbout is active, it will configure a new 'Launch Daemon' and 'Device Profile' to give itself persistence. The changes associated with PlusAbout's installation are simple – it forces all Web browser searches to redirect the user to Safe Finder. While this is not harmful, it is intrusive, certainly – the creators of PlusAbout are improving Safe Finder's ad revenue by using a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) to bring more users to the site.

If you suspect that PlusAbout may be present on your Mac, you should complete its removal with the help of a suitable Mac anti-virus tool.
