PracticalDisplay is a type of adware that infects Mac computers by injecting unwanted advertisements into web browsers. This adware typically gets installed on a Mac system without the user’s knowledge through software bundling, where it is included in the installation package of a legitimate program. Once installed, PracticalDisplay starts displaying pop-up ads, banners, and other types of advertisements while the user is browsing the internet.
PracticalDisplay can also track the user’s online activities and gather personal information such as browsing history, search queries, and login credentials. This information is then used to display targeted ads and generate revenue for the creators of the adware. In addition to being annoying and disruptive, PracticalDisplay can also slow down the performance of the infected Mac and compromise the user’s privacy and security. Users are advised to regularly scan their Mac computers for adware and remove any suspicious programs to prevent PracticalDisplay infections.
