How to remove LauncherSync (Mac)

What Is LauncherSync?

LauncherSync is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that is designed to infect Mac computers and disrupt the normal functioning of the system. It is often distributed through deceptive software bundling, where it is included in the installation package of legitimate software. Once installed, LauncherSync may display intrusive advertisements, redirect web browsers to malicious websites, and collect sensitive information from the infected computer.

LauncherSync infects Mac computers by exploiting vulnerabilities in the system or by tricking users into downloading and installing it unknowingly. It may also be spread through malicious email attachments or links. Once installed, LauncherSync can modify the browser settings, install additional malware, and track the user’s online activities. To prevent infection by LauncherSync, users should be cautious when downloading software from untrusted sources, keep their operating system and security software up to date, and avoid clicking on suspicious links or advertisements.
