Trip.app is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) or a type of malware that primarily targets Mac users. It is generally classified as adware because once installed, it generates intrusive advertisements, redirects users to untrustworthy websites, and collects various browsing-related information. It often finds its way to a device without the user’s consent or knowledge, typically bundled with free software or through deceptive pop-up ads. The infection process of Trip.app usually occurs when users unknowingly install it thinking it’s a useful app or a required update. It can also infiltrate the system when users download software from untrustworthy sources or click on misleading advertisements. Once inside, it modifies browser settings and inserts various ads into websites, causing unwanted redirects and potentially exposing the user to harmful content. Additionally, Trip.app tracks users’ online activities, posing a threat to their privacy.
