ProcessDisplay is a type of adware that infects macOS devices by displaying unwanted advertisements and pop-up windows on the user’s screen. It is designed to generate revenue for its creators by promoting sponsored content and redirecting users to advertising websites. ProcessDisplay typically gets installed on a Mac through software bundling, where it is included as an additional component in free software downloads. Once installed, it can modify browser settings, track user activity, and collect personal information for targeted advertising purposes.
ProcessDisplay can also spread through malicious links, email attachments, or fake software updates. Once installed on a Mac, it can be difficult to remove as it often hides deep within the system files and registry. Users may experience slower performance, frequent crashes, and a degraded browsing experience due to the intrusive nature of the adware. To protect against ProcessDisplay and other similar threats, users should be cautious when downloading software from unknown sources, avoid clicking on suspicious links, and regularly update their security software to detect and remove any potential infections.
