OriginalGrowthSystem

OriginalGrowthSystem is what experts recognize as a browser hijacker that’s specifically aimed at Mac users. OriginalGrowthSystem embeds itself in the main web browsing program once it’s been installed on the computer.

If you have been infected with OriginalGrowthSystem, you will pretty much know about it instantly. This is the type of software that announces its presence in the most obtrusive way possible. Namely, it makes very noticeable changes to the Chrome, Safari or other browser it has infected. For example, it may replace the regular homepage URL with a new one like Search Marquis or Search Baron, and have that one load automatically every time you open a new window or tab. Similarly, it may also replace the default search engine with some ripoff version that’s in need of popularizing.

On top of that, browser hijackers are notorious for the copious amounts of banners, popups and other online ads that they generated within the infected browser. In addition, your browser may begin to trigger page redirects during your sessions, which is another way that software of this type tries to promote various websites and pages.

Furthermore, if you’ve already tried removing OriginalGrowthSystem and have failed, then you’ve faced the same difficulty that pretty much every user does with such software. Browser hijackers don’t come with an intuitive uninstallation option, because that goes against the developers’ interests. Hence, to remove OriginalGrowthSystem you may require a hand in the form of a removal guide like the one we’ve published just below this post.

OriginalGrowthSystem for Mac

OriginalGrowthSystem for Mac is notoriously invasive ad-generating software that can integrate with most commonly used browsing programs. OriginalGrowthSystem for Mac is often considered to be a potentially unwanted program or PUP.

There are several reasons for this, one of which is the unwanted side effects that the presence of such software may bring about. For instance, the incessant generation of online ads on your screen does require the use of a significant amount of system resources. And over time this may cause your system to start working slower, your browser may begin to freeze up due to being overloaded, etc.

What is OriginalGrowthSystem?

OriginalGrowthSystem is also considered to be a PUP to the fact that its presence may lead to exposure to viruses and other threats. OriginalGrowthSystem is not itself a virus, however, which many users tend to mistakenly believe.

And the exposure may happen as a result, say, of being redirected to an unsecure website or some page that’s been tampered with by hackers. That way you may potentially be attacked even by such serious threats like ransomware, Trojans and other malicious code. This should actually serve as enough reason to want to remove OriginalGrowthSystem straight away.

The Original Growth System app

The Original Growth System app is rarely every distributed on its own. Instead, the developers of the Original Growth System app implement a popular tactic known as program bundling to make sure that the hijacker reaches end users.

Hence, OriginalGrowthSystem was likely included in the setup of some other piece of software that you recently downloaded.
