Genieo isn’t malware per se, though you could classify it as such by assessing the harm it does to people after it sneaks its way into computers posing as codecs and whatnot.Ĭase in point, BitDefender decided to do something about it and released Adware Removal Tool, which specifically targets unwanted installations of Genieo for Mac and removes the adware and all of its components, cleansing the system. The tool so far only recognizes and removes Genieo, a personal newspaper offering content from all your favorite sources that can alter search results and inject ads. BitDefender has released a free-to-download adware removal utility specifically designed to track down and eliminate adware from your Mac.
