Remove TotalSearchConsole
TotalSearchConsole is a misleading Mac application whose installation may be completed without the user's permission. This might happen if they download a fake installer, interact with a software bundle, or fall for another trick that TotalSearchConsole's creators use. This software is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP.) Its installation on your system is not a major concern because this app does not possess any malicious features. It may, however, cause trouble by tampering with your browser settings and redirecting you to content that you are not interested in.
The goal of dubious PUPs like TotalSearchConsole is to generate ad revenue for its creators. However, instead of showing ads directly, it acts in a more subtle manner. Users who encountered this software report that their Web browser's new tab page and search engine were replaced by a 3rd-party site that they had never interacted with it before. If you happen to find TotalSearchConsole on your Mac, then you are likely to encounter these changes as well. This happens regardless if you are using Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
Users whose Web browsers are being controlled by TotalSearchConsole can resolve the issue by eliminating the source of the problem. Trying to remove this PUP manually may not work, and we advise you not to attempt it. You should ensure its full removal by using a reputable Mac security tool. Also, considering protecting your Mac with antivirus software at all times. This way you can prevent low-level PUPs like TotalSearchConsole from bothering. Most importantly, you will stay safe from emerging Mac threats like the ThiefQuest Ransomware.
