SearchWebSvc

Posted: February 28, 2020

SearchWebSvc is the name that a piece of Mac adware uses to hide its components on the computers it infiltrates. The good news is that having this particular piece of adware on your device is not a major security concern, as it does not exhibit unsafe behavior. However, while SearchWebSvc is not threatening, it may turn out to be very annoying thanks to its ability to inject various advertisements in active Web browser sessions.

The advertising techniques that the SearchWebSvc adware uses are very aggressive, and they may often end up preventing you from using your favorite websites normally. This may happen because SearchWebSvc's banners will appear on top of important content and menus, or because it will spawn several pop-ups that promote shady products, services and websites. In general, it is best to avoid advertisements that you suspect to be affiliated with adware.

Mac adware like SearchWebSvc is often propagated via social engineering tricks whose goal is to convince users that they will download a valuable utility or an important software update when, in fact, they will be downloading an adware's installer. Once SearchWebSvc is set up and running, it will only activate its modules when it detects an active Web browser instance.

To protect your Mac from low-profile adware like this one, you should consider installing and activating a reliable Mac security software suite.
