When it launches, it will download the most recent signatures from their website. If you find it useful, I’d recommend donating to the developer. It’s a freeware program that removes all known forms of Mac adware. The best tool that I have found is AdwareMedic from the folks at The Safe Mac. It leaves behind just as much garbage as before. It’s not super easy to remove, and don’t even bother with using the uninstaller on their website. It hijacks Chrome, Safari, and Firefox start pages and searches. This is one reason why the Mac App Store is a great place to find new software.ĭuring my day job as an IT Director, I’ve had to clean up InstallMac (also known as Genio) on more than one occasion. It’s important to remember to only install software from places you trust. It’s a form of Mac adware that comes from installing something like a free Windows media player, free PDF application, or even bootleg pay-per-view streams. InstallMac is not something that you are going to see on every Mac. The app will continue to be free for personal use. AdwareMedic has since been purchased by Malwarebytes, but the original developer is remaining on the project. Editor’s Note: Don’t miss Apple’s support document on the topic of adware on the Mac.
