Remove SearchWebAid

SearchWebAid is a Mac application, which may be promoted online through misleading ads and messages stating that it is supposed to be a helpful and useful utility meant to enhance your Web browsing and searching experience. SearchWebAid, however, is not as helpful as its creators make it out to be. Once installed on your Mac, it will plant its files in several hidden folders, and its uninstaller may not fully remove these components. Users complain that even after trying to uninstall SearchWebAid, some of the changes that this Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) brought were still present.

SearchWebAid is classified as a PUP, and Mac users who have invested in reputable security software are unlikely to experience any issues caused by this program. Why? Because antivirus tools will prevent PUPs like SearchWebAid from being installed in the first place – they will block the installer and warn the user that they are interacting with a shady app.

If you Web browser is behaving strangely, or you encounter SearchWebAid in your list of apps, then you should take the required measures to try and fix the issue. You should run a reputable Mac antivirus scanner to fully remove this PUP.
