Remove AthenaResults

AthenaResults is a Mac application, which could prove to be an annoyance if it shows up on your device. It is often installed without the user's permission, because it masks its presence. Sometimes, the AthenaResults app may arrive through fake downloads and installers, or via fake advertising. One AthenaResults is installed, users do not notice anything out of the ordinary at first. This is because AthenaResults runs in the background, and manipulates Web browser settings without the user's approval.

The purpose of AthenaResults appears to be promoting low-quality sites by configuring them as the default new tab page and search engine. These promotions happen at the expense of the user's Web browsing experience, of course – they will not be able to use their favorite new tab page and search service. Furthermore, the search engines that AthenaResults promotes may deliver low-quality content and ads.

To remove AthenaResults fully, we advise you not to attempt the task manually. Instead, use an up-to-date security tool to ensure that AthenaResults's files are removed fully, preventing the PUP from persisting.
