How To Stop IntegerLocator Adware Pop-Ups

IntegerLocator is a potentially unwanted application. It can affect computers running macOS.

IntegerLocator has a number of similarities it shares with browser hijackers and adware. It can silently inject ads into the pages you browse while online.

Those ads are used to generate revenue for the operators of the application. However, ad-supported software or adware often works in tandem with rogue advertising networks.

This means that the ads displayed and injected into pages you visit online will not only slow down your connection and browsing experience but can also lead to unsafe pages. Rogue ads can refer you to malicious pages, misleading websites and other questionable content.

The most common way potentially unwanted applications similar to IntegerLocator can get on your Mac is through what is called bundle installers. Those are packages of several applications, one or more of which can be potentially unwanted apps that install along with the flagship app you likely were searching for.

To stay safe from similar issues, it is advisable to always use a strictly curated download portal for all your software needs. The Apple App Store is the most obvious choice if you are using a Mac.
