Nowadays there is a great amount of free software, that can be very useful. Some of these applications can be shared in packs together and such packs are called “bundles“. The terms of installation of such packs are usually unclear, and users even don’t suppose, that they agree to install something else. That is how AgileHelp mostly sneaks into the MacOS. As it’s been installed, the users notice an amount of advertisements, even where it can’t be. AgileHelp also collects “cookies” and user’s personal information, in order to provide him or her with targeted advertisements and pop-ups. According to this information we can classify AgileHelp as the Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA). The main problem here is that the developers of AgileHelp don’t take any responsibility for the content that they promotes. However, AgileHelp is not a dangerous application, but the websites it promotes – can be. They can infect your device with a number of different malwares and damage your system! That’s why we recommend you to get rid of these advertisements and remove AgileHelp PUA from your Mac OS as soon as possible. If you can’t do it yourself, follow our detailed guide!
