System Special

System Special is a Mac browser hijacker that redirects user searches to promoted sites and floods the browser with ads. System Special is known for making unwelcome browser changes in the main browser of the computer in order to turn the browser into an advertising platform.

Some of the most common changes that users notice when this undesirable app gets installed on their Macs are the replacement of the search engine that the browser uses and the change of the default homepage and new-tab page addresses. This app can be installed on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or other browsers, meaning that it won’t matter what browser you use if you download a hijacker such as this one, as it will likely be able to attach to your main browser, regardless of what that browser is.

Once the unwanted application makes its changes in the browser, it begins to redirect the user to certain sites that it is supposed to popularize by artificially drawing more traffic to them. This type of site promotion isn’t illegal but it could potentially expose your Mac to danger so its best to not allow this hijacker to stay in your computer.
