How to remove ExtendedProcesser adware

What is ExtendedProcesser?

ExtendedProcesser functions as a browser hijacker and adware. Depending on the browser, it changes certain browser settings to 0yrvtrh.com or search.standartanalog.com (the address of a fake search engine) and serves various advertisements. It can also access (collect) sensitive information.

Commonly, users download and install programs such as ExtendedProcesser unintentionally and, therefore, they are categorized as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). Research shows that this particular app is distributed through a deceptive Adobe Flash Player installer.

In most cases, adware-type apps such as ExtendedProcesser serve surveys, banners, pop-ups, coupons and other types of advertisements. These often promote dubious pages or even execute scripts designed to download and install unwanted apps.

ExtendedProcesser assigns 0yrvtrh.com (on Safari) or search.standartanalog.com (on Chrome) as the default search engine, homepage, and address of a new tab. Therefore, ExtendedProcesser users are forced to visit another address when they open a browser, new tab or enter search queries into the URL bar.

Both 0yrvtrh.com and search.standartanalog.com provide results generated by Yahoo (they redirect to search.yahoo.com) and, therefore, they are classified as fake search engines. Note that fake search engines can be removed from browser settings only when the browser hijacker is no longer installed.

Additionally, ExtendedProcesser can read sensitive information, such as credit card details, telephone numbers, and passwords. This information can be used to steal identities and accounts, make fraudulent transactions and purchases, and for other malicious purposes. These are the main reasons why ExtendedProcesser should never be downloaded or installed.

How did ExtendedProcesser install on my computer?

ExtendedProcesser is distributed through a deceptive installer designed to install an Adobe Flash Player installer. Commonly, such installers are used to distribute adware, other PUAs, and malicious programs such as ransomware, Trojans. PUAs are also distributed by including them into the download/installation set-ups of other, mainly free, programs.

This distribution method is known as "bundling". PUAs are integrated into set-ups as 'additional offers', which can be found in "Custom", "Advanced" or other settings. Many users fail to check and change these settings, thereby agreeing by default with offers to download and install additionally-included PUAs.

In some cases, unwanted downloads and installations are caused by clicking deceptive ads that execute certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Do not use Peer-to-Peer networks (eMule, torrent clients and so on), unofficial pages, various third party downloaders, installers, etc. to download or install programs or files - they are often used to distribute unwanted and malicious software. Programs and files should be downloaded only from official websites and via direct links.

Check all "Advanced", "Manual, and "Custom" settings and decline offers to download or install unwanted software before completing the process. Do not click intrusive ads that appear on dubious web pages, since they can open other rogue pages or execute scripts designed to cause download/installation of unwanted software.

Remove any unwanted, suspicious or unknown extensions, add-ons and plug-ins installed on the browser. The same applies to software of this kind that is installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with ExtendedProcesser, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate this adware.
