Remove OptimalState
OptimalState is a randomly named application made by an anonymous developer. You will not find a company behind it, nor will you be able to locate a website where to download it from. Instead of being spread through reputable and trustworthy channels, OptimalState is relying on deceptive tricks, software bundles, and misleading advertisements to get users to install it.
This app is not meant to run on Windows – instead, it goes after Mac systems exclusively. If you are a Mac user and you are worried about it, then you should know that this app is not dangerous. It is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by reputable security vendors. Applications of this sort do not possess harmful traits, but they are known to tamper with system and browser settings, exhibit irritating behavior, and cause other minor annoyances.
OptimalState, in particular, tries to modify your default Web browser so that it redirects you to low-quality websites whenever certain actions are performed (e.g., opening a new tab.) If you are experiencing such intrusive changes, then you might want to check for PUPs running in the background. The best way to do this on your Mac is to run a reputable security scanner, which will help identify and remove all components linked to OptimalState or similar applications.
