Rastertodnp is software that integrates with the main browser installed on your Mac computer. Rastertodnp can easily become part of your Chrome, Safari, Firefox or other popular browsing program.If this has happened to you, then you have likely discovered certain very obvious changes to your browser’s appearance. For instance, users normally first come to realize that their browser homepage has been replaced with a new one. And soon after they may also notice that the default search engine is no longer the same as it was either. In addition, Rastertodnp may also add a new toolbar to the browser, as well as start generating tons of online ads directly on your screen. These can come in every shape and size such as popups and banners to name a few. And they can obstruct your browsing, making it extremely difficult to navigate the web. Adding to this chaos is the instance of page redirects that are often triggered within your browser and forward you to various sponsored web locations.

In order to be able to effectively remove them, you will first have to remove Rastertodnp. And we will show you how to do that with the help of the guide that’s just below this post.

Remove “Rastertodnp” will damage your computer from Mac
The following instructions will allow you to remove “Rastertodnp 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 “Rastertodnp” 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 “Rastertodnp” 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/.”Rastertodnp”/”Rastertodnp”
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 “Rastertodnp” file.
