How to remove DynamicLush (Mac)

What is DynamicLush

A group of independent researchers classified DynamicLush as adware (for Mac) and also determined its belongingness to the AdLoad malware family. Software of such is often able to generate intrusive advertisements that promote online scams, untrustworthy download pages, porn websites, web casinos, and tons of other potentially compromised content. Adware may also track your search and browsing history in order to display more relevant ads based on your preferences. This is what adware developers capitalize on as they receive money from successful advertisement clicks or even displays. There are cases when adware fails to function as it is supposed to, however, this does not mean you should keep it running on your system. We strongly advise you to delete it and read our guide below to get practical tips on protecting yourself from such threats in the future.

How DynamicLush infected your computer

The main distribution window used to spread adware is usually via free software that users download from the web. Various third-party program installers may contain additional offers, which many users are not aware of. During installation, such offers get oftentimes skipped meaning an unwanted app like DynamicLush can end up installed on the system without your consent. Each successful installation, therefore, brings money to the promoters based on the Pay-per-install (PPI) scheme. This is why it is so important to look out for extra program offers and deselect their Installation, if possible. It is also worth avoiding dubious and unverified pages that promote free software. Try to visit only legitimate and trusted resources for that purpose.
