Sighful.app
Sighful.app is an app designed to attach itself to Safari, Chrome, and Firefox and to cause them to automatically open certain sites. Sighful.app is created to provide the sites that sponsor it with more exposure by forcefully opening them inside the user’s browsers.At first glance, this piece of software may seem like nothing more than a simple annoyance that is unlikely to cause any major problems in the computer and to a certain extent that’s exactly what it is. However, apps like this one (usually known as browser hijackers) may hide certain questionable characteristics that may sometimes put users’ computers in danger. Besides, even if no harm comes to the machine on which the hijacker is installed, the replaced search engine, the changed homepage, the frequent page redirects, and the display of intrusive adverts caused by the unwanted app are still enough to make most users look up ways to uninstall Sighful.app. If that is the reason why you are here, too, look no further than the removal guide at the bottom of this post for detailed uninstallation instructions for this hijacker.
Sighful.app for Mac
Sighful.app for Mac, like Psoriasis or Bc20 is a rogue Safari, Chrome, and Firefox extension that will add unwanted new elements to the browser and cause unpleasant page redirects. Sighful.app for Mac will not damage the computer directly, but the changes it makes may compromise the security of your Mac.One of the security issues that may come from this unwanted app is the potential for getting sent to sites with unsafe content. Hijackers like this one do not discriminate between the different sites they are programmed to promote based on the reputation and safety levels of each site. From a profit’s standpoint, this makes sense since it won’t limit the number of sites the hijacker could promote and earn commissions from. However, this means that sites that are with a low reputation and/or potentially unsafe could get promoted on your screen, thereby exposing your Mac to danger like ransomware, Trojan horse viruses and other malware.

Remove “Sighful.app will damage your computer” from Mac
The following instructions will allow you to remove “Sighful.app 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 “Sighful.app” 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 “Sighful.app” 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/.”Sighful.app”/”Sighful.app”
5. In Finder press Shift+Command+G to open the Find window.
