Mac Cleanup Pro is often spread among Mac computers using the method called “bundling”. This means that Mac Cleanup Pro is often offered along with some cost-free software that users might decide to install into their Macs. The problem is that they sometimes fail to carefully read the EULAs (also known as the End User License Agreements) related to these free applications. Thus, they often agree with all offers that are suggested by freeware installers. So, they keep blindly clicking on “Next” or “I agree” buttons, without realizing what exactly they agree with. This is the way Mac Cleanup Pro program and a lot of other unwanted applications may be installed into the workstation.
Mac Cleanup Pro upon successful intrusion will perform several unwanted amendments within the OS X.
