Remove OptimalPromo
OptimalPromo is a Mac application, which users may end up installing on accident. Typically, this happens through a software bundle, which relies on misleading instructions to trick users into installing 3rd-party apps like OptimalPromo. In addition to this, users might end up encountering it via fake downloads offered by non-trustworthy websites. The best way to ensure that a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) like this one will never reach your system is to use a reputable Mac security tool.
But what happens if OptimalPromo is installed on your device? While the troubles it causes are relatively minor, they may have an adverse impact on your browsing experience. You may see intrusive ads and pop-ups, and you may also experience redirects when you search the Web, or try to open a new tab.
The websites that OptimalPromo promotes are typically low-quality search engines, which are ad-ridden and prioritize sponsored results. Using them will not provide you with credible search results, and you should undo this annoying change as soon as possible. Since trying to restore your browser settings will not work, you need to remove OptimalPromo first. This can be done by running an up-to-date Mac security tool.
