Legitimate means that they have a proper website with a way to get in touch, have been around for a while, code-sign and also submit their software to the Apple notary service. A trusted source is the Mac App Store or directly from the developer directly from the developer only if they are legitimate.
IBOOSTUP MAC FOR MAC
In fact iBoostUp’s Spyware Doctor for Mac is able to detect and remove many of these types of threats.Īs a new Mac user you can stay safe by only ever installing legitimate (not pirate or cracked) software from a trusted source and keeping it up-to-date. We’ve refused every single time and will continue to do so.
We’re particularly concerned about the increasing number of adware companies targeting Mac users by trying to piggyback off existing known and trusted Mac apps.Īs makers of iBoostUp and iZip, we’ve been approached on several occasions by shoddy companies trying to get us to bundle their adware with our products by offering us payment per install. Unfortunately as the popularity of Apple computers increases, unscrupulous organizations are now are targeting Mac users with malware and sub-par or misleading products, such as fake antivirus apps and utilities like “optimizers”. These can include: malware, adware, spyware, 0-day exploits, and a buildup of “cruft” and other unneeded files that take up valuable disk space.
New Mac users often wonder if their Mac “needs” anti-malware, optimization/cleaning and other utilities.Ĭontrary to popular belief, deep down a Mac is just like any other computer, and while overall the engineering and integration between hardware and software is superior to that of most other manufacturers, with issues less prevalent, your Mac can still experience similar issues to those seen on other devices.
