Does Does MainFrameSelect Mac Adware Do?

mac computer macbook pro

MainFrameSelect is the name of a clone app belonging to the AdLoad adware family. AdLoad is the name of a huge family of adware variants, all having different names but the same functionality - delivering ads to your Mac.

MainFrameSelect has a very generic icon that helps it blend in with your other applications. The names of AdLoad clones are the result of slapping two or three ransom words together. Sometimes this produces nonsensical results such as "AssistSample" or "OrionRound".

The big issue with adware of any kind, whether it's MainFrameSelect or some other ad-supported application, is that a lot of the ads displayed by this type of ad-supported application may be sourced through rogue ad networks. This means that the ads may link to questionable content, misleading websites, phishing pages or potentially unwanted apps.

The potentially dangerous ads displayed by adware apps such as MainFrameSelect are the main reason why you don't want to keep any adware app installed on your Mac or PC.

Removing MainFrameSelect from your system is relatively simple. Just drag and drop it onto your Trash and then empty the Trash.
