AimSearch

Posted: April 22, 2020

AimSearch is a Mac application whose main selling point is to promise users that it will provide them with an enhanced search feature that will help them find relevant results online. However, the installation of AimSearch will not result in such a thing and, instead, the only noticeable change will be the increased number of advertisements you see while browsing the Web. This will happen because AimSearch behaves like adware – it looks for active Web browser windows, and then injects advertisements in the Web page you are browsing currently. Adware like AimSearch may use very aggressive advertising techniques that make it difficult to navigate your favorite websites.

The installation of AimSearch may occur via a direct download that was promoted via misleading advertisements or fake downloads. We advise Mac users to avoid installing unknown applications from shady websites since the amount of Mac adware circulating in the wild has been increasing over the past year rapidly.

If you have the AimSearch adware on your system, you should take the required steps to remove it as soon as you can. The removal of this adware should be completed with the assistance of an up-to-date malware removal application.
