How to remove iLifeMediaBrowser (Mac)

What is iLifeMediaBrowser

iLifeMediaBrowser is a Mac-based application that affects browser settings and responsible for destabilizing MacOS performance. Initially, iLifeMediaBrowser is a component of a legitimate GarageBand program that comes pre-installed on Mac OS. However, most extortionists use this name for promoting completely different software – browser hijackers. Programs of such type tend to pass by users’ consent and proliferate systems on their own. After penetration, these apps entail multiple changes regarding search engines, default homepage, advertising network, and other parts of your browser. All of these changes will initiate unintentional redirects to shady pages and intrusive ads will start appearing to create the traffic and bring money to cybercriminals. iLifeMediaBrowser can be dangerous for your privacy due to data-tracking capabilities. Thus, such data like passwords, IP-addresses, geolocations, etc. will be secretly sold to third-parties and generate revenue for the app’s creators.

How iLifeMediaBrowser infected your computer

Developers of browser hijackers usually promote their software via bundling techniques. To specify, extortionists integrate third-parties offers alongside freeware. During the setup, inexperienced people forget to unmark the bundled programs in “Advanced” or “Custom” sections. Once skipped, a potentially unwanted program stealthily creeps into the system and spread its roots as deep as possible so that regular users could not delete it. To move the cybercriminal’s scope of your data and ensure privacy safety, you should uninstall iLifeMediaBrowser from your computer. We have prepared a free removal guide below.
