Remove ProType
ProType is a shady Mac application, which does not seem to have an official website or company behind it. It is likely to be spread online via fake downloads or shady installers hosted on 3rd-party sites. It may also be found as an opt-in or opt-out offer featured in software bundles. But what happens if you end up installing ProType? Thankfully, this app is not dangerous so installing it will not cause major problems with your privacy and online security. It may, however, hinder your Web browsing experience since ProType is known to introduce undesired changes to the behavior of popular Web browsers.
One of the intrusive things that ProType is known to do is to replace the default new tab page and search engine of Safari, Chrome, or Firefox. While this is not malicious, it may end up redirecting users to low-quality pages that pretend to offer reputable search services. However, you can rest assured that the websites promoted by ProType are not as good as they claim to e – using them is likely to expose you to ads, pop-ups, fake alerts, and sponsored search results.
If you notice ProType on your Mac, you should proceed to remove it immediately. However, keep in mind that manual removal might not do the trick – some of ProType's files may continue to exist and manipulate your Web browser. This is why Potentially Unwanted Programs like this one should always be eliminated with the use of a suitable Mac security tool.
