RunningOptimizer

RunningOptimizer is a Mac application that, according to its name, is supposed to be a helpful utility meant to enhance your device's performance. Unfortunately, you are unlikely to find detailed information about its features, because it does not have an official website or publisher behind it. Instead, it is being propagated through false advertisements, fake downloads, misleading promises and low-quality software bundles entirely. Despite these shady properties, the RunningOptimizer application is not harmful, and it does not pose a threat to your online safety.

RunningOptimizer can, however, be very annoying to deal with. Macs that have this software installed will experience minor changes to their 'Device Profile' and 'Launch Daemon.' The changes in question ensure that RunningOptimizer will run whenever the computer starts, and it will manipulate the configuration of the Safari Web browser automatically. The negative consequences of installing RunningOptimizer are minor but annoying – your searches may often be redirected to unreliable search engines affiliated with RunningOptimizer.

This application is in the Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) category, and you can ensure the full elimination of its components by running a credible Mac security scanner.
