Remove NetworkSync
NetworkSync is the name of a Mac application, which users might be unfamiliar with. This is perfectly normal because NetworkSync is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP.) Its developers are anonymous, and they have chosen a name, which makes NetworkSync sound like an important app that has something to do with the network connection of your Mac. However, we assure you that NetworkSync has nothing to do with any important Mac features or services. It is a PUP whose sole purpose is to modify your Web browser settings.
The changes, which NetworkSync introduces are not dangerous, but they may hinder your Web browsing experience. This software aims to generate traffic for specific websites by promoting them through browser redirects. In this scenario, NetworkSync may set a low-quality search engine as your browser's default new tab page, homepage, or search aggregator.
While there is nothing harmful about NetworkSync's behavior, there is no doubt that this app is very suspicious. Users who try to remove it manually might not succeed. The PUP tries to hide its files in multiple directories, and it sets up Launch Agents to grant itself persistence. The only way to remove it reliably is to run an up-to-date Mac security tool. Its scanner will identify and delete all of NetworkSync's components, undoing any changes the PUP has made.
