SmartProducts is a special adware that attacks many Mac devices today. The adware, by the way, is from the AdLoad family. It essentially diminishes the browsing experience. For instance, it displays ads not related to the sites that you visit. It may show its ads on top of other content that might be relevant, which prevents you from properly perceiving this relevant content. SmartProducts adware may also periodically redirect your browser to the wide range of other third-party websites of a very bad reputation. As a result, your Mac may be infected with certain potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). In the light of this information, we strongly recommend you to remove this adware as soon as possible from your computer.

How does your browser work when SmartProducts is enabled in it?
We’ve already mentioned that SmartProducts is designed to display the variety of advertisement banners in your screen. There is nothing wrong with ads as long as they’re legitimate and decent. The problem with SmartProducts is that this adware displays the ads that often prevent you from reading the content on other websites. The banners are often showed on top of the important information, thus you’re not able to properly perceive the required information.
Ads delivered by the SmartProducts adware are not really genuine. The danger of this adware-type app is in its interconnection with many junk pages on the web. For instance, it may eventually point your browser to the following resources:
- landing pages of suspicious browser extensions;
- websites that promotes installation of rogue security programs, adware, browser hijackers, etc;
- pages that encourage you to share your personal details by means of fake surveys;
- resources that try to force you into subscribing to uncontrolled web push notifications.
SmartProducts is also directly involved in collecting your personal details. For instance, it may gather the information from your previous browsing experience, such as your browsing history, submitted search queries, visited pages, IP addresses, geographical locations and other private data. Even your credit card details may be under the inspection of third parties.
Finally, SmartProducts may periodically cause unwanted redirections of your browser to random websites. This will essentially distract you from things that are really important. Furthermore, your Mac will function in an extremely slow manner while the SmartProducts adware remains active. We strongly advise that you remove it as soon as possible by carefully following these removal instructions below.
