How to remove unwanted apps downloaded from yourultimatesafevideoplayers[.]info on Mac?

What is yourultimatesafevideoplayers[.]info?

Yourultimatesafevideoplayers[.]info is one of the many deceptive websites that are designed to trick their visitors into downloading and installing some potentially unwanted application (PUA), or applications through a fake installer of a new Adobe Flash Player version. Typically, they are designed to download installers of PUAs like browser hijackers, adware. However, in some cases those installers infect systems with malicious software like ransomware, Trojan, or other high-risk malware. In one way or another, websites like yourultimatesafevideoplayers[.]info should never be trusted.

Like many other websites of this type, yourultimatesafevideoplayers[.]info suggests that installed version of Adobe Flash Player is out of data and offers visitors to download (and install) the latest version. According to yourultimatesafevideoplayers[.]info, the installed version does not include the latest security updates and visitors will not be able to use Adobe Flash Player (watch videos, play games, etc.) unless they download and install the offered (supposedly a new) version. At the time of the research yourultimatesafevideoplayers[.]info downloaded a file named "AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller.dmg" which, as its name suggests, should be installer of Adobe Flash Player. However, this installation setup is designed to distribute some PUA or even malicious software. If used, it may install app (or apps) that could be designed to gather various information, display ads, promote some fake search engine, and so on. Also, it may infect a system with malware that could be designed to encrypt files, spread other malware, and cause problems like monetary, data loss, identity theft, installation of other malware, issues with browsing safety, online privacy, and so forth. All of this can be avoided by simply ignoring websites like yourultimatesafevideoplayers[.]info and downloading, and updating software only through official pages and/or implemented functions, tools that are provided by official developers.

Other pages that are very similar to yourultimatesafevideoplayers[.]info are theworldofcontents[.]info, mainplaceupgradesfree[.]info and startmostnewestprogram[.]icu. Unfortunately, there are many more of them. It is worth mentioning that quite often websites of this type get opened through deceptive ads, untrustworthy websites or by PUAs that are already installed on a browser and/or operating system. In other words, people usually do not visit them intentionally.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

As a rule, people get tricked into downloads and/or installations of unwanted apps when developers distribute them by using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". It means that they include PUAs in download and/or installation setups of other, usually free programs. In most cases information about additionally included apps (offers to download and/or install them) can be found in their "Advanced", "Custom", and other similar settings. People who download and/or install programs without checking and changing those settings unknowingly allow for potentially unwanted apps to be downloaded and/or installed together with software that they downloaded and/or installed intentionally. Another common way to cause downloads and/or installations of PUAs is by clicking deceptive ads that execute scripts designed to download and/or install them.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is not safe to download and install software (and files) via questionable websites, using third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule), and other channels, tools of this kind. We strongly recommend to download all software from official websites and through direct download links. Also, unwanted downloads and installations often can be avoided by checking "Advanced", "Custom", "Manual" and other similar options of download and/or installation setups and declining offers to download and/or install additionally included software. Furthermore, we recommend not to click various intrusive advertisements, especially when they are displayed on questionable. As a rule, people who click them get redirected to untrustworthy, potentially malicious websites. In some cases they cause unwanted downloads, installations. If unwanted redirects happen or intrusive ads appear regularly, then we advise to check a web browser for unwanted extensions, add-ons or plug-ins and uninstall them as soon as possible. Software of this kind that is installed on the operating system should be removed too. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate them.
