Remove IndexerProject
IndexerProject is an intrusive Mac application, which users may sometimes install unknowingly. This might happen when IndexerProject is offered by a low-quality software bundle or if it is spread through fake downloads and updates. The good news is that IndexerProject is not dangerous – installing it on your Mac will not result in any harmful consequences. However, it is still important to note that it is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP.)
Typically, PUPs introduce unwanted changes or disruptive behavior that the majority of users will find annoying. This is the exact description of the IndexerProject PUP. Once running on your Mac, the program will set up a new Launch Agent to give itself persistence. It will also modify browser settings, forcing redirects to 3rd-party sites whenever the user performs specific actions. For example, users might see an IndexerProject-affiliated site whenever they open a new tab or try to access their homepage.
The sites that IndexerProject promotes are typically low-quality search engines. While using their services is not dangerous, they might not provide you with satisfying search results. For example, they may show extra ads and pop-ups, or they might even prioritize sponsored results.
Needless to say, IndexerProject is not useful, and neither are the websites it promotes. If your Mac is exhibiting the behavior we describe, then you should use a reputable Mac security tool to ensure IndexerProject's full removal. Avoid future encounters with such applications by using an up-to-date security software suite. In addition to this, we advise you to avoid downloading software from non-trustworthy sources – this is an easy way to encounter adware, browser hijackers, or PUPs.
