Remove NetworkBeta

NetworkBeta for Macs is an annoying piece of software, which could show up on your device even if you do not recall installing it. This might happen because of interacting with low-quality installers, fake downloads, or other deceptive content – such as misleading advertisements. The good news is that NetworkBeta is not a threat to your mac. It is not malware, and it will not cause any harm. However, it is able to introduce some annoying changes that most users would probably love to revert.

What is NetworkBeta?

This app is a Potentially Unwanted Program, or PUP for short. Software of this sort often lacks useful features and, instead, focuses on doing things that benefit its developers instead of users. NetworkBeta is not an exception. Once running, it could start manipulating Web browser settings in order to redirect users to affiliated sites. The pages that NetworkBeta promotes are likely to contain extra ads.

One of the sites that NetworkBeta tends to promote is Nearbyme.io, a low-quality search engine. Its name is associated with a wide range of Mac PUPs, and it seems that NetworkBeta is just the latest name to join the list. If you find NetworkBeta or Nearbyme.io on your Mac, you should run an up-to-date security scanner to discover and eliminate the intrusive software.
