Remove DefaultProducts
DefaultProducts is a Mac application, which may end up on your device without your approval. It may be installed alongside legitimate software installers, or if you interact with a fake or misleading download. The good news is that DefaultProducts is not dangerous. The bad news is that it is not useful either. In fact, it has no redeemable features. Mac security software identifies DefaultProducts as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) and you can keep this app away from your computer if you have strengthened your Mac's security.
But are there are any risks if you end up allowing DefaultProducts' installation? While this app is not malicious, it may hinder your Web browser by applying changes to its settings. The goal of these changes is to promote one or more 3rd-party sites, which might be set as your browser's default new tab page or search service. Needless to say, experiencing such redirects regularly can be very disruptive, and you should aim to remove the software exhibiting this behavior.
If the DefaultProducts application is present on your Mac, you should not try to remove it manually – this is not enough to ensure its full removal. The best way to proceed is to run an up-to-date Mac security scanner. It will identify and eradicate all components part of DefaultProducts' activity. Once the intrusive app is gone, you can proceed to restore your browser settings.
