SearchPageInjector

The SearchPageInjector is an adware application meant to be used on Mac computers without the knowledge of their owners. It is likely that the group behind the SearchPageInjector is propagating it via cracked Mac software that the users might download from random torrent trackers and peer-to-peer sharing platforms online. When the SearchPageInjector is initialized, it may work in the background and inject pre-made JavaScript code in every Web page that the user visits. This technique is often used to display simple advertisements in all websites, but the operators of the SearchPageInjector also might modify the code and use it to execute crypto jacking operations that will use the victim’s CPU resources to mine for the Monero cryptocurrency.

There was a time when Macs were considered to be nearly invulnerable to cyber-threats, but these days are long gone, and nowadays even Mac users need to take the necessary measures to ensure their computers’ protection from suspicious applications. Naturally, the first line of defense should be using a reputable anti-malware application that will scan the incoming files for potentially harmful traits. Another thing that Mac users should do is follow the same tips as their fellow Windows users – avoid browsing websites that are known to host pirated content, and never download files from suspicious websites.

To ensure that the SearchPageInjector is not on your Mac, you should download, install, and run an up-to-date anti-virus tool that will help you scan and secure the computer.
