NanoFilefld
NanoFilefld is a potentially unwanted application with page redirection capabilities, which automatically reroutes user searches to certain sponsored websites. NanoFilefld targets Mac browsers and gets installed in them mostly via click-bait ads and free file bundles.If software like this one has been making modifications inside your browser recently, you would probably want to know how to uninstall it once and for all. The key to the successful removal is that you will need to make sure that all its components have been effectively removed from your system in order to reset the settings of your Safari, Chrome, Firefox or any other browser that has been affected. If you don’t do this, however, NanoFilefld will probably return to your browser and start its page-redirecting and ad-generating activity again.
One thing that apps like this one are known to do is to put some new homepage settings or disable the default browser search engine and replace it with a new one that generates sponsored search results. These changes allow the invasive application to forward you more often to its partnering sites. Nonetheless, this does not necessarily support you and only messes with your web browser’s normal functionality.
NanoFilefld for Mac
NanoFilefld for Mac is an aggressive rogue browser extension for Macs that forces your default browser to redirect traffic to particular web locations. NanoFilefld for Mac is intended to generate additional visits and clicks on its partners’ websites and to generate pay-per-click income for its developers from that.The more users have this app on their computers, the greater the chance they will get redirected to more revenue-generating pages and ads. This is one of the reasons why software developers of programs like NanoFilefld aim to install their product on as many computers as possible by distributing it for free and in software bundles.
What is NanoFilefld?
NanoFilefld is potentially unwanted Mac software that is recognized as a browser hijacker since it “hijacks” the settings of the browser. The objective of NanoFilefld is to benefit its creators financially by prompting users to visit sponsored pages.The creators of the unwanted app are rewarded financially every time a user is redirected to one of the hijacker’s sites. This is why, as long as the hijacker is present in your Mac, you will keep getting rerouted to dozens of sponsored websites.
As a matter of fact, the activities of the browser hijacker are unlikely to harm your Mac computer in a serious way. Unlike computer viruses or malware such as the notorious Ransomware and Trojans, a piece like NanoFilefld won’t damage your files or the software that you have installed on your Mac. Still, the web addresses you may end up visiting thanks to this software’s auto page redirects may not always be reliable. Some of the links and the web ads that the hijacker may display on your screen may include phishing elements or malicious code used to spread the infamous Ransomware and Trojan horse viruses.

Remove “NanoFilefld will damage your computer” from Mac
The following instructions will allow you to remove “NanoFilefld will damage your computer” in two ways:
- The manual instructions will allow you to remove it on your own by downloading 2 software suites which will show you the folders the threat is located in. Installing, scanning, and deleting everything will require 1-2 hours of your time, depending on your speed and the threat itself.
Note: If “NanoFilefld” has an in-built ability to restore itself on a restart, the manual steps will not prevent that. We recommend the automatic removal. - Download SpyHunter for Mac (one of the apps used in the manual instructions), scan with it, and if you decide to use the program, it will likely require about 15-20 minutes. This, however, requires an active subscription for SpyHunter, which means either to use the trial version or purchase the software.
Removal instructions:
1. Download EtreCheck from the Appstore and scan for any “NanoFilefld” unsigned files. Delete them. (You can skip this step altogether and download and scan with Spyhunter instead if you don’t want to double-check things).
2. Download and install Spyhunter for Mac. Scan for any malicious files.
3. The app will show you which files are infected. Either use SpyHunter to delete them for you (the automatic removal) or do it manually, which means tracking down each detected location by yourself and deleting the file.
4. In most cases start with /private/var/root/Library/Application Support/.”NanoFilefld”/”NanoFilefld”
5. In Finder press Shift+Command+G to open the Find window.
6. Search for the /var directory. Then proceed and look for the /root folder inside.
7. It will most likely be locked and you will need additional permissions to meddle with it.
8. Press command+I and scroll to sharing and permissions. Add your user name to permissions.
9. Now you should be able to access the /root folder and proceed and locate the /Library folder inside it. Proceed to do the same until you are inside the /Application Support folder.
10. It is possible that the folder you look for is hidden, if that is the case use command+shift+. to locate and find the file you want to delete.
11. Delete the “NanoFilefld” file.
12. If none of this helps, try the steps in this guide.
