What Is Disk Tuner?
Disk Tuner is an ad-type program created by scammers for Mac. Many people know that Macs are well protected from virus attacks, however, there are many programs that are capable of attacking Mac devices. This virus is on this list.
It penetrates the system using the bundling method (a method in which viruses are attached to some free software and downloaded along with it). When a virus enters the Mac, it captures the system settings and makes certain changes that cannot be undone on their own. For example, virus changes its usual search engine so that it redirects victims not to the pages they request, but to those promoted by the virus. Most often, these are malicious pages that can download various unwanted applications without your consent.
Disk Tuner is an adware application, which means that it introduces a large amount of ads into the system to prevent users from working normally, because annoying ads appear throughout the entire work and overlap the necessary information. We would like to note that advertising and redirection is not only unpleasant but also dangerous, because advertising and redirection reduce the activity of Mac.
