If clicked, these open dubious or even malicious web pages or start the download/installation processes of various unwanted apps. Adware is a type of software that, once installed, starts to feed users with unwanted, intrusive ads. Some these third parties might include cyber criminals. Developers of PUAs share the data with other parties who misuse it to generate revenue. Some are also designed to record personal details. It is not known for certain whether MacEnizer is one of these rogue applications, however, there is a strong possibility.įurthermore, PUAs are often distributed with other unwanted apps such as browser hijackers, adware, and so on. Apps that hijack browsers usually change browser settings to promote a dubious web address (often a fake search engine) and gather information relating to browsing habits.Įxamples of data collected by PUAs include users' IP addresses, entered search queries, addresses of opened websites, and geolocations.
They often provide false results to trick people into believing that their computers can run faster, and without errors if the 'full version' of this app is purchased. To use all MacEnizer features, people must purchase/activate it.ĭespite these demands, do not pay for apps that are classified as PUAs. MacEnizer includes features that supposedly allow users to manage cache, trash, logs, startup items, uninstall apps, clean memory, history, etc., however, these functions cannot be performed with the free/trial version.

Most people download and install PUAs unintentionally, however, MacEnizer is advertised as a system optimizer, a tool that supposedly cleans and maintains Mac computers. MacEnizer is categorized as a potentially unwanted application (PUA), since developers promote it using dubious, deceptive methods.
