Remove ConnectSystem
Mac users have had to deal with intrusive applications for a couple of years now. If you are one of the many Mac users who have not invested in reputable anti-malware software yet, then you are likely to encounter shady apps like ConnectSystem. It is important to note that ConnectSystem is not a dangerous application. Having it on your system, however, may result in some annoying changes concerning your Web browser.
ConnectSystem is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) whose creators are spreading it through fake downloads, misleading offers/promises, and other dubious content. The installation of ConnectSystem may often go unnoticed, and users might have no idea why their Web browser is behaving in a weird manner. But what does ConnectSystem do exactly? It will replace the default search engine or new tab page the Web browser uses. However, it is possible that it might introduce additional changes as well.
Overall, ConnectSystem's behavior is not harmful – the app wants to expose users to as many ads as possible, generating revenue for its creators. Needless to say, you should get rid of software that wants to introduce extra advertisements to your Web browser. ConnectSystem's behavior is even more annoying, because it will hinder your browsing experience by triggering redirects to low-quality search services and ad-ridden pages.
The best way to ensure that ConnectSystem is gone completely is to run an up-to-date Mac antivirus too. While ConnectSystem is not malware, security scanners will still help you remove all of the PUP's files in one go.
