How to remove 'Total Mac Fixer' from Mac?What is 'Total Mac Fixer'?Total Mac Fixer is an application, promoted as a tool capable of optimizing system operation by removing undesirable files, managing apps and improving system start-up speed. Since most users download/install Total Mac Fixer inadvertently, it is considered to be a PUA (Potentially Unwanted Application). Apps within this category are typically untrustworthy and they can have heinous abilities. For example, causing redirects to unreliable/malicious websites, delivering intrusive advertisement campaigns, making modifications to browsers and collecting browsing-related information.
Dubious distribution methods may be used for legitimate software, however they are more commonly employed to proliferate questionable products. PUAs categorized as fake system cleaning/optimizing products typically require activation (i.e. to be purchased) to perform the promised features. However, following activation - this software tends to remain nonoperational - and it is highly likely that this is the case with Total Mac Fixer as well. As mentioned in the introduction, most PUAs have additional/other abilities. They can force-open untrustworthy/rogue, compromised, deceptive/scam and malicious websites. Adware-types can deliver pop-ups, banners, coupons and other intrusive advertisements. Upon being clicked, they redirect to dangerous sites and some can even stealthily download/install software (e.g. PUAs). Another PUA type called browser hijackers make modifications to browser settings in order to promote illegitimate search engines. With such a piece of software installed, every new browser tab/window opened and search query typed into the URL bar - redirect to the promoted address. Fake search engines are usually unable to provide search results, so they redirect to Yahoo, Google, Bing and other legitimate ones. What is more, most PUAs have data tracking abilities. They can monitor browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather personal information inferred from it (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). This sensitive data is often monetized by being shared with and/or sold to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals). In summary, presence of unwanted apps on devices can lead to financial losses, system infections, severe privacy issues and identity theft. To ensure device/user safety - all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be removed immediately upon detection.

Quick Mac Booster, MacRepair, Total Mac Care - are a few examples of other unwanted apps similar to Total Mac Fixer. Despite appearing legitimate and useful, they rarely work. Functionality and user safety are irrelevant, since the only purpose of PUAs is to generate profit for the developers. Therefore, instead of delivering on any promises, these applications run intrusive advert campaigns, force-open untrustworthy and malicious webpages, hijack browsers and gather private data.
How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?Some PUAs (e.g. Total Mac Fixer) have 'official' promotional pages from which they can be downloaded and/or purchased. These apps can also be downloaded/installed together with other software. 'Bundling' is the term used to define this false marketing technique of pre-packing regular products with unwanted or malicious additions. Rushed downloads/installations (e.g. skimmed or ignored terms, skipped steps and sections, used pre-set options, etc.) - increase the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled content into the device. Intrusive adverts can infiltrate such applications into systems as well. When clicked on, they can execute scripts, designed to download/install PUAs without user permission.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?It is recommended to always research software before download/installation and/or purchase. All downloads must be done from official and verified sources. Untrustworthy download channels, like: unofficial and free file-hosting sites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks and third party updaters - often offer deceptive and/or bundled content. Download and installation processes must be treated with caution. Therefore, it is important to read terms, explore all available options, use the 'Custom/Advanced' settings and opt-out from additional apps, tools, functions, etc. Intrusive ads typically appear legitimate, however they redirect to dubious webpages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and so on). Should users encounter advertisements/redirects of this kind, they must check the system and immediately remove all suspect applications and/or browser extensions/plug-ins from it. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate them.
