How to remove Nbp.app (Mac)

What is Nbp.app

Nbp.app refers to a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that specifically targets macOS systems. It is a form of adware, which is software designed to generate revenue for its creators by displaying intrusive advertisements. Once installed, Nbp.app adware modifies the settings of popular browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari, resulting in an onslaught of ads. These alterations not only degrade your Mac’s performance but also expose you to potential malicious redirects and infections. The adware injects advertisements into websites you visit and redirects your browser search queries. It hijacks your browser homepage and search engine and displays unwanted advertisements not originating from the sites you are browsing. Nbp.app adware can also engage in the collection of private data. The data sought by such programs spans a wide range of sensitive information, including visited URLs, viewed pages, search queries, Internet cookies, login credentials, personally identifiable details, and even financial information such as credit card numbers. The data collected in this manner may then be shared with or sold to third parties, significantly heightening the privacy and security concerns for users affected by such adware.

How Nbp.app infects Mac computers

Nbp.app adware typically gains access to devices when users inadvertently install it without understanding the potential repercussions. It often hitchhikes on other software or masquerades as essential updates on less reputable websites. One notorious deceptive method associated with AdLoad variants, which Nbp.app is a part of, is the “Update Adobe Flash Player” browser redirect. The adware can also be bundled with free software downloads. Unfortunately, some free downloads do not adequately disclose that other software will also be installed, and users may find that they have installed Nbp.app without their knowledge.
