How to remove Identification.app (Mac)

Identification.app is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) or a type of malware that can infiltrate your Mac without your knowledge. This app usually presents itself as a legitimate and useful tool, while in reality, it carries out various malicious activities. It can degrade your system’s performance, show intrusive ads, redirect browsers to sponsored pages, and even collect personal information. This app typically gets into your system bundled with freeware or shareware, or through deceptive advertising. Infection with Identification.app usually starts when a user unknowingly installs a freeware or shareware that has this app bundled into it. The developers often use a deceptive marketing method known as “bundling” to spread PUPs like Identification.app. Users might also get infected by clicking on deceptive ads or links that automatically download the app. Once inside a system, the Identification.app can make changes to the browser settings, install additional malicious software, and begin its harmful activities. To protect your system, it’s important to download software from reputable sources, be cautious about clicking on ads, and use reliable antivirus software.
