Remove RealChannel
RealChannel is an intrusive Mac application whose presence on your system is usually accompanied by some intrusive and unexpected changes. We consider RealChannel to be a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP,) and recommend its removal. Of course, you should keep in mind that RealChannel is not dangerous.
The installation of RealChannel often occurs when users interact with fake downloads, bogus software, or other low-quality downloads. The best way to ensure that your Mac will not end up cluttered with intrusive apps like this one is to invest in reputable anti-malware services. They can scan incoming files for shady contents, and cease their installation immediately.
The changes that RealChannel brings to Web browsers typically affect the default search engine and new tab page. If you are experiencing such issues, you should definitely check your system for browser hijacking apps. While Macs tend to be relatively safe, there are numerous hijackers and Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) that can circumvent the build-in security features of Macs. Thankfully, using a 3rd—party antivirus tool is enough to stop intruders like RealChannel.
