ProgressTrend

Posted: June 11, 2020

ProgressTrend is a Mac utility that you do not want to have to deal with because it may be challenging to remove, and you might experience annoying changes to your Web browser's behavior for as long as ProgressTrend is up and running. This software may be delivered to your computer via a software bundle, a low-quality software installer or from a torrent you downloaded recently. When ProgressTrend is installed on a Mac system, it will set up a new 'Device Profile' to tamper with the Safari browser's settings, and it also may grant itself persistence by crafting a new 'Launch Daemon.'

Once ProgressTrend is active, it may force your Safari browser to redirect all of your searches through Safe Finder Search before taking you to search results generated by the Yahoo Search. This will not only make your searches slower and less reliable, but it also may expose you to more advertisements.

ProgressTrend is categorized as adware, and there is not a single good reason to keep this software on your computer. If you are being troubled by this program, you should take care of its removal with the help of a suitable Mac security software suite.
