How OrderPlans infects Mac computers

OrderPlans typically infects macOS systems through deceptive practices, primarily bundled with free software installers. Users often unknowingly install this adware by opting for default installation settings without reviewing the additional components included, which may be hidden under advanced options. It can also be distributed via misleading pop-up ads that claim to provide necessary software updates or enhancements, luring users into clicking on malicious links. Furthermore, unofficial app stores, torrent downloads, and peer-to-peer networks serve as common channels for its distribution, where unsuspecting users may download compromised applications. Once installed, OrderPlans begins to display intrusive advertisements, track user behavior, and redirect browsers to potentially harmful websites, significantly compromising the user’s online security and privacy.
