StandBoost

StandBoost, or StandBoostd, is an intrusive macOS application that has caused trouble for many users who have published their complaints on the official Apple Community forums recently. According to the posts there, users are seeing an unexpected and intrusive message saying 'StandBoost Will Damage Your Computer' – needless to say, seeing such a message can be a major concern since users are left under the impression that there is a serious problem with their systems. The good news is that StandBoost or StandBoostd are not identified as threatening software, and the problem is not as serious as it sounds. However, this does not mean that the issue should be ignored – as long as StandBoost is present, you will end up seeing the aforementioned message. On top of this, StandBoost may make unwanted changes to your browser's configuration, trying to promote 3rd-party sites and search services.

If your macOS surprises you with the 'StandBoost Will Damage Your Computer' or 'StandBoostd Will Damage Your Computer' message, then you should look into the problem immediately. The recommended course of action is to run a compatible security scanner that will find and delete files linked to StandBoost.
