What Is Yourprizeszx?
This is a misleading site for Mac. As a rule, viruses such as Yourprizeszx penetrate the system in a completely secret way and declare themselves when the infection has already been committed. Yourprizeszx submits pages designed to trick visitors by providing confidential information. From the moment a virus appears in your system, all actions and changes in the settings will be under the control of virus. You cannot undo all changes. All ads, redirects, banners, pop-ups will appear without your consent.
At first, Yourprizeszx positions itself as a harmless application. One of Yourprizeszx’s pages is a lottery scam. You can see the page: “Dear Safari user, you are a happy visitor today.” That is, a viral bait for user visits, which makes them think that they won or can win any prize (for example, iPhone).
We do not recommend that you leave this virus in your Mac. Even if it seems to you that its presence does not harm your device, you are mistaken.
You will not see right away, but your system will become less efficient, it will soon affect your work at Mac.
