Vevatom Virus

Vevatom

Vevatom is an obstructive browser-redirecting software that will relentlessly spam your main browser with page-redirects and will negatively affect its overall behavior. Vevatom can cause crashes and slow-downs of the browser and also make different unwanted changes in its settings without your approval.

This is a type of software that resides in the gray area between highly-dangerous and malicious malware threats like Spyware, Trojan Horses, Rootkits, Worms, and Ransomware on the one hand and legitimate and useful apps on the other. To better understand the browser-hijacking software category, you must first learn more about the purpose of these apps. Though it may seem programs like Vevatom, QSearch, and Search Marquis might be trying to harm your Mac by tampering with the settings of its main browser (this could be Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or another one), the truth is that aim of the search engine and homepage changes and the sudden page-redirects is to promote certain websites that need more traffic and earn money from this promotion.

The Vevatom Virus

The Vevatom virus is an unpleasant software that hijacks the settings of the main browser of Mac computers and tracks the users’ browsing history. If you want to prevent the Vevatom virus from messing with your browser, your only option is to remove it.

Most users notice the presence of the unwelcome software as soon as they start their main browser, which has the hijacker attached to it. At first, the changes in the browser combined with the obstructive ads and sudden redirects to unfamiliar and suspicious-looking pages may be a bit overwhelming and the user may think that they have been attacked by a Trojan virus that could infect the system with additional threats like Ransomware or Spyware. However, most apps that have such browser-hijacking behavior are not particularly harmful and their main goal is to earn revenue from your clicks and the visits you make to the sites that are promoted by them.

Vevatom.com

Vevatom.com is an example of a recently released Mac browser hijacker that can silently get added to any Mac browser and manipulate the browser’s settings. Vevatom.com can potentially reroute your searches to unsafe sites so it’s best to have it uninstalled ASAP.

Many users complain that they cannot get rid of the undesirable software because every time they seem to remove it, it comes back to the browser. This is because most hijackers install helper elements in the system and make certain settings changes that allow them to restore their place inside the browser even after they are seemingly uninstalled.

The Vevatom Pop-up

Vevatom pop up for Mac is, at its core, an advertising application that earns revenue from Pay-Per-Click/Pay-Per-View commissions by generating aggressive ads and page-redirects inside the browser. The Vevatom pop-up doesn’t seek to harm your Mac but it won’t stop flooding your browser with advertising content.
