If you want to prevent Mac Auto Fixer from running on each system startup, you should remove the Maftask process (executable), which is stored within the ' /Users/test/Library/Application Support/maf/maftask.app/Contents/MacOS/maftask' folder. This might be a scam - you can read more about this potentially unwanted application in this article. The 'free version' of Maftask is supposedly incapable of eliminating the listed viruses and, therefore, users are encouraged to pay for the 'full version'. Once opened, Mac Auto Fixer immediately performs a 'system scan' and delivers a list containing dozens of potential threats/infections. It simply starts the Mac Auto Fixer application on each system startup. If your computer is already infected with ScreenCapture, we recommend running a scan withCombo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate this adware.Maftask is just the process name of a dubious app. Third party downloaders/installers often include rogue applications, and thus these tools should never be used.
Software should be downloaded from official sources only, preferably using direct download links. Opt-out of all additionally-included programs and decline offers to download/install them. Furthermore, study each step of the download/installation processes using the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings. If you continually encounter these ads/redirects, remove all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins. Once clicked, however, they redirect to dubious websites (gambling, adult dating, pornography, and similar). Bear in mind that developers invest many resources into intrusive ad design, thereby making them seem legitimate. To prevent this situation, be very cautious when browsing the Internet and downloading and installing software. Rather than giving any value for regular users, adware-type applications cause unwanted redirects, gather information, and deliver intrusive advertisements, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience and posing a threat to your privacy and computer safety. Thus, having a, adware-type applications attempt to give the impression of legitimacy, however, these programs have just one purpose: to generate revenue for the developers. Collected data is later shared with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue.
Adware is also likely to record data such as website URLs visited, pages viewed, and other information relating to browsing habits. Adware-type applications often deliver intrusive advertisements such as coupons, banners, pop-ups, and similar that redirect to dubious websites and even run scripts that download/install other PUAs. Additionally, ScreenCapture generates fake traffic. ScreenCapture allows to record user-system information such as search queries, IP addresses, geolocations, and so on. The redirects are harmless, but are performed for several reasons. Note, however, that Microsoft has nothing to do with this adware. In any case, users end up searching via Bing, a legitimate search engine developed by Microsoft. ScreenCapture itself might also redirect to using the aforementioned Amazon AWS service. Once a search query is entered by the user, ScreenCapture immediately redirects users to, which then redirects to. Following infiltration, ScreenCapture stealthily runs in the system background and monitors browsing activity.
