SearchRange

Posted: June 26, 2020

SearchRange is a deceptive Mac utility that you cannot download from an official website or host. Instead, it is distributed via misleading downloads, fake files, fake updaters, and other dodgy online content that you should avoid interacting with. If the SearchRange browser hijacker gets installed on your Mac, it may apply immediate changes to your favorite Web browser's default new tab page and search aggregator. While this behavior is not unsafe, it may worsen your Web browsing experience by forcing you to use an unfamiliar and non-trustworthy website.

When SearchRange is installed, it will make sure to set up a new 'Launch Daemon' and 'Device Profile' that give it persistence – removing the software manually might not undo these changes. This is why the advice of cybersecurity experts is to ensure SearchRange's removal with the help of a suitable Mac anti-malware tool.
