Promote Queue Mac

Promote Queue

Promote Queue is a type of rogue browser extension for Mac-compatible web browsers. The main feature of programs like Promote Queue is the generation of online ads directly on your screen during browsing sessions.

But in addition to the many popups, box messages and banners that Promote Queue may display on your screen, there are also other no less apparent symptoms of an ongoing infection. For instance, if this hijacker has embedded itself in your Safari, Chrome, Firefox or other web browser, it will typically impose certain changes to the browser’s settings.

Usually these changes will have to do with the browser’s homepage and/or the default search engine. But on top of that, you may also see new browser elements, such as an extra toolbar or similar.

What is Promote Queue?

When dealing with software like Promote Queue for the first time, many users often panic thinking they’ve landed a virus. However, Promote Queue and browser hijackers in general are not malicious and cannot directly harm your system.

Nevertheless, it is advisable to be cautious around such pieces of programming. And the reason for this is largely due to the immense quantities of ads that they hurl at you. The thing is that there’s generally no quality control when it comes to the various websites that Promote Queue’s ads may link you to. And so it’s very common for many (if not the majority) of them to be of low or questionable quality. Hence, it’s possible to land on potentially dangerous content and real viruses like Trojans, ransomware and others.

For this reason it’s best to try and avoid interacting with any of the ads showcased by this hijacker on your screen.

The PromoteQueue app

The PromoteQueue app was most likely included in a so-called program bundle along with one or more other applications. Thus, you probably installed the PromoteQueue app without realizing it when you were installing another piece of software.

This is by far the most common means of distribution for programs like Promote Queue. But it’s relatively simple to avoid and that can be done by paying closer attention to the setup of any program you’re about to install on your computer. Be sure to opt for the advanced or custom setup so that you have more control over the process. And that, in turn, will usually give you the option to opt out of any added software components such as browser hijackers and similar.
