How did BinaryAccessibility install on my computer?

Adware is often bundled with free or questionable software. Users inadvertently install adware by completing installations without unchecking/deselecting unwanted offers. These offers are typically found in "Advanced", "Custom", or similar settings.

Furthermore, users might unknowingly install adware via misleading ads, deceptive pop-ups (like fake alerts or offers), third-party downloaders, peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, unofficial websites, or third-party app stores. Notifications delivered by shady pages can also trick users into downloading and installing adware.

How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?

Avoid downloading software from P2P networks, third-party app stores, or other unreliable sources. It is recommended to obtain software from official sources like official websites and app stores. Prior to installation, carefully review the installer for unwanted applications in "Advanced", "Custom", or equivalent settings, and decline any unwanted offers.

Do not consent to receive notifications from suspicious websites, and avoid interacting with pop-ups, banners, coupons, etc., on dubious sites. Keep all software and your operating system up to date, and perform routine scans on your computer to detect and remove unwanted applications or potential threats.

If your computer is already infected with BinaryAccessibility, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate this adware.
