OriginQueue is a type of adware that specifically targets Mac computers. This malware is designed to display unwanted advertisements, pop-ups, and banners on the infected device. OriginQueue can also collect and track the user’s browsing habits and data to deliver more targeted advertisements. It can slow down the performance of the Mac and cause browser crashes.
OriginQueue typically infects Mac computers through software bundling, where it is bundled with legitimate software downloads from the internet. Once the user installs the infected software, OriginQueue is also installed on the system without the user’s knowledge. It can also spread through malicious websites, email attachments, or fake software updates. Once installed, OriginQueue starts displaying advertisements and collecting user data, compromising the user’s privacy and security. Users are advised to regularly update their antivirus software and be cautious when downloading software from unknown sources to prevent OriginQueue infections.
