Remove ProjectSource

Mac systems have been considered to be very secure for a long time. It is, in fact, true that they are more secure compared to most Windows systems. However, this does not mean that their defenses cannot be breached by intrusive apps or even malware. In 2021 we saw the ThiefQuest Ransomware take over thousands of Mac computers, and then encrypt the data on them. In the meantime, we have also seen reports of hundreds of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) that can make their way to your Mac thanks to fake downloads and other deceptive content. ProjectSource is one of these PUPs.

What is ProjectSource?

This Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) aims to take control of your Mac's Web browser. Thankfully, it does not do this with malicious intent. Instead, it aims to manipulate its settings in order to redirect you to certain 3rd-party sites. These redirects might happen when you open a new tab page, try to search the Web, or even randomly. The site that ProjectSource promotes may often be a low-quality search engine, which you should not use – it might deliver low-quality results, show extra ads, and display other annoying behavior.

We assure you that ProjectSource has no redeemable features, and the best thing to do is to remove it immediately. You can complete the removal of ProjectSource with the use of a suitable security scanner for Macs.
